Abstract: In the present study, wave interaction with double, fixed, vertical, semi-immersed, slotted barriers is investigated numerically. Numerical results concerning obtained with the use of the COBRAS (Cornell breaking Wave and Structures) wave model for regular waves reveal the effects of barriers porosity, relative depth d/L (d: water depth, L: wave length) and relative distance between the two barriers S/L (S: the distance between the two barriers, L: wave length) on the hydrodynamic characteristics (wave transmission, reflection, dissipation, velocity field, turbulence kinetic energy field). Numerical results concerning wave transmission, reflection, dissipation against the porosity of the barriers, d/L and S/L are well compared with experimental results by Isaacson et al. [14], revealing the credibility of the wave model. Detailed computed velocities and turbulence kinetic energy in the vicinity of the structure indicate the effects of the special breakwater on the !
flow pattern and the turbulence structure.
