Abstract
In marine works, it is important to get wave prediction results for safety operation and work executable judgment. Recently, the advanced wave prediction method using the WAM model has been utilized generally in marine works. However, the accuracy of the wave prediction results is not clear in marine work conditions.
In this study, we observed field wave around reef area, and constructed of the wave prediction model composed the WAM model (offshore) and an energy balance equation (onshore). From the comparison with the model prediction results and the wave measurement results, we discussed the accuracy of the wave prediction results for marine works around the reef area. As a result, the wave prediction model can estimated precisely the wave height at the coastal wave gauge site, but sometimes differ between before and after the wave direction changes.
