Abstract

An experimental study is prepared to determine the efficiency and performance of flap type wave generator on a sloping bed. The experimental runs are made for different wave paddle frequency, different water depths and different beach slopes. The wave profile allover the flume length is measured at different locations. The wave height increase with the increasing of the relative water depth. A damping effect is exciting at a certain location of the flume due to the water shoaling and the wave breaking. It was concluded that, the flap type is an efficient device to generate progressive waves for the first regions of the wave flume.
