Abstract
Several type of structures have been proposed to control the wave field unit now, for example, submerged plate and submerged breakwater. In this study, submerged flexible sheets which are composed of textile sheets in frames with elastic springs are studied for another type. A new method of analysis using the boundary element method with Green function for wave field around the this structure was reported by Sakikawa et al (1996). In this study, a few experiments were carried out to investigate the validity of analyzed results using 3-D wave tank. Compared with calculated results and experimented results, in figures of contours for wave distribution of wave field, it was found that both results agreed good with each other under same hydraulic condition. Consequent by, the validity of the method of analysis was confirmed, by experiments.
