Abstract A reflection of a wave is a reflection of a wave that occurs when a wave is coming against a wall or a barrier. The problem of wave reflection is very important in coastal building planning especially port. The water in the harbor pool should be calm so the ship can dock. To get the calm in the harbor pool, then must be made buildings that can absorb energy or destroy wave energy. Breakwaters are buildings that serve to absorb or destroy wave energy. One form of the breakwater is a sinking wave breaker. The wave breaker is a wave breaker in which the muted wave is permitted to crush over the construction. The purpose of this research is to understand wave reflection with unsymmetrical sink structure. This research is done with a wave breaker model that is semicircle model. The model will be arranged asymmetrically to see the effect of wave reflection changes across the model. The results of this study indicate that the reflection coefficient value with a density of 4 x 6 cm, 6 x 9 cm and 8 x 12 cm is inversely proportional to the wave steepness value (Hi / L). The larger the density of the model, the greater the reflection coefficient.
Keywords— Submerged Breakwater, the arrangement is not symmetrical, the reflection coefficient I.
INTRODUCTION
Various activities in coastal areas such as settlement, industry, port, agriculture / fishery, tourism and so on can cause problems in coastal areas such as coastline changes. The coastline changes caused by human factor that can be port development activities. Port Development activities conducted continuously is expected by negative effect against nature conservation. Negative impacts can be a situation on the harbor pond due to sedimentation. To overcome the negative impact of erosion or coastal abrasion or sedimentation problem, it can be made a breakwater construction to reduce wave energy. The reduction of wave energy depends on the magnitude of the reflection coefficient. The reflection coefficient of the sink tends to increase as the slope gradient of the steeper sink. Another investigation is conducted by ArkalVittal et al (2013) on the influence of a quarter-circle submersed wave with several variations of a radius results in the addition of a reflection coefficient proportional to the steepness of the waves and also to the radius of the increasingly enlarged model. From the previous research, it was developed again in terms of arrangement of models that are made
II. LITERATURE REVIEW A. Reflection Wave A reflection of wave is a reflection of a wave that occurs when a wave is coming to hit wall or barrier. The phenomenon of reflection can be found in the harbor pool. The reflection of waves is determined by different coefficients for different types of building. The great ability of a building reflects that the wave given by the reflection coefficient, i.e. the comparison between the wave height of Hr reflection and the high of coming wave Hi: X = Hr/Hi
