摘要:Wave transformation in the areas of submarine canyons through their reflections on slopes is considered. As shown by field observations, including the destruction of the protective breakwater sections of the port of Imeretinskiy, and laboratory tests, the height of the waves on the windward edge of the parapet of submarine canyons in oblique approach of waves can be increased by 30–50 % compared with the waves outside the canyons. A mathematical model describing these effects and can simulate the excitement of the field in the areas of submarine canyons.
