Discussion

Experimental analysis shows V-type breakwater reduces infragravity waves by 40% on reef-fringed coasts, suggesting new engineering solutions.

V-type breakwater reduces infragravity wave energy at the shoreline by 40%, indicating its potential as an effective coastal defense.
Results demonstrate significant performance of the breakwater against flooding and shoreline erosion during typhoons and extreme wave events.
Experiments utilized a wave flume setup to analyze the generation, propagation, and reflection of infragravity waves across various conditions.
Findings highlight the urgent need for effective engineering to mitigate risks posed by infragravity waves on vulnerable coasts.
