The complex reflection and transmission coefficients in terms of the breakwater and wave characteristics have been derived.
A logistic sigmoid function has been used to describe the variation in the reflection and transmission coefficients.
The results provide the characterization of the hydraulic performance of the breakwater in response to wave action.
This work includes the reflection phase when defining the wave regime in front of, inside, and leeward of the breakwater
These curves, along with the parameters obtained, can be used in preliminary breakwater design.
