The wave transformation over the deep-sea coral reefs is an essential issue in the analysis of the reef ecosystem and the design of large reef-top structures. Extensive wave flume experiments are conducted to investigate the wave transformation processes over an idealized reef model. Detailed measurements of the wave height, the wave set-up and the wave-generated flow on the reef-top are made with and without the reef-top structure at various submerged depths and under different wave conditions. It is found that the reef-top structure has a significant influence on the wave breaking, the wave set-up and the wave-generated flow. The wave set-up increases with the increasing wave height and the decreasing submergence depth. However, the relationship between the wave set-up and the wave period is complex, influenced by the reef-top structure.

理想化礁石模型上规则波传播的实验研究

在分析珊瑚礁生态系统和设计大型礁顶结构时，深海珊瑚礁的波浪转换是必不可少的问题。进行了广泛的波浪水槽实验，以研究理想化礁石模型上的波浪转变过程。在有和没有礁顶结构的情况下，在不同的淹没深度和不同的波浪条件下，对礁顶上的波高，波浪形成和波浪产生的流量进行了详细的测量。发现礁顶结构对波浪破碎，波浪形成和波浪产生的流动有重大影响。波的建立随着波高的增加和水下深度的减小而增加。但是，受礁顶结构的影响，波浪形成和波浪周期之间的关系很复杂。
