Details: 

The reflection coefficient of a submerged single porous breakwater 

has been calculated, using a Meshless method in conjunction with the 

linear potential wave theory.

Why the reflection coefficient attends a zero minimum (around kd=2.15)

for a non-porous breakwater ( ε = 0), whereas for a porous breakwater (ε≠0), 

there is no zero minimum. See the attached Fig.
