Note the diffraction parameter and wave slope are comparable to those studied by Koo andKim (2005). Two wave gages are used to monitor the wave height and frequency.Table 5. 1 Wave ConditionsT (sec) f (Hz) L (in.)

(9.75m) long and 6 in. (15cm) wide. The first wave gage isapproximately 8’-3” from the wavemaker and 1’-6” from the body. The second wave gage isapproximately 20’-9”from the end of the wave flume and 1’-6” from the body. Two waveabsorbers are placed at the ends of the wave flume to minimize reflection. The set-up isdepicted in Figure 5.3. Positioning of the wave gages and body is dictated by the flume’sconstruction and reflection minimization.Figure 5. 3 Wave Flume Set-up85
