Experimental Study on Reducing Effect of Wire-Mat-Type Wind Fence on Wind and Waves

Abstract

This paper deals with the wind changed by wind fence and the waves generated by this wind. The experiments are carried out in a wind water tunnel. The test fence is made with polypropylene wire, and is a piece of actual wind fence. The reducing effect of this wire-mat-type fence on wind and waves is discussed. The most suitable air gap density of the wire-mat for our wind fence is found.
