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.
