Chapter 3 The reflection coefficient based on the small amplitude wave theory can be determined by measuring the amplitudes at the antinode and node of the composite wave train. However, the determination of the reflection coefficient should be conducted experimentally for a concrete engineering. 31/38 Chapter 3 When incoming waves are interrupted by a barrier such as a breakwater or an island, the waves curve around the barrier and penetrate into the sheltered area, meanwhile the wave energy is transferred laterally along a wave crest. This phenomenon is called wave diffraction
