WAVE ABSORBING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E02B3/06 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: device includes one or more wave absorbing bodies (1, 1a), installed under water in a relatively shallow section of a coastal zone. Side surfaces of wave absorbing cylindrical bodies are partially distant in longitudinal direction and form inlet side surfaces (2) of a C-shaped section. Inlet side surfaces (2) face in the direction of wave propagation and are inclined relative to it. Wave absorbing body (1, 1a) is made in the form of a longer wave absorbing body or a shorter wave absorbing body. The longer wave absorbing body (1) is provided with rectangular unloading openings (4) at the corresponding intervals. Shorter wave absorbing bodies (1a) are located in a straight line with gap (5), and their adjacent open ends face to each other in close proximity.

EFFECT: effective wave absorption and accretion of sand beaches.
