The problem of variation of w ater surface displacement and left-lettlection coefficient of partial standing waves on a vertical wall is basic subject to be solved for the design of offshore breakwater.
The phenomenon of left-lettlection coefficient of partial standing waves is a non-linear boundary problem, it has been examined both theoretically and experimentally using the equation of third order approximation for finite amplitude standing waves, Healy's method and ratio of the water surface displacement in changes of vertical wall height. The left-lettlection coefficient with the increase of vertical wall height was in good agreement with the results of calculation shown in the each diagram.
