What Is Wavebrake? Print E-mail
The Wavebrake module has multiple recesses that will channel flowing water. When a plurality of these modules is constructed into a wave attenuation system, the water will be channeled into a series of constrictions and voids that will dissipate the water wave energy by hydraulic resistance and friction. This is critical to the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. The need for these buoyant modules is to break the laminar flow of water into a state of turbulence. The turbulence increases the disorganization and chaos of the incoming water, greatly increasing the distance that individual cells of water travel. As the water cells travel farther through the system, the overall resistance flowing through the system is greatly increased.
