A new wave barrier named ‘L-Type Curtain Wall Wave Barrier’ is developed and its function is studied using a numerical wave flume. The wave barrier comprises a curtain wall and a horizontal flat plate to reflect incident wave effectively; the transmission coefficient of the new wave barrier even with its relatively small width B and small submerged depth d is very low compared with a curtain wall or with a horizontal plate. The calculations were made using the numerical wave flume which is under development by a special research group including the authors. The calculation with its animation can clearly show the mechanism of wave reflection and wave energy dissipation.
