ABSTRACT:
There is described a water wave absorber, particularly suitable for use in testing tanks, to reduce the reflection of generated waves. The absorber comprises a series of sheets of unflattened expanded material, usually metal, positioned one behind the other and the sheets being arranged in generally decreasing porosity from the front of the wave absorber to the rear thereof.
