Description
- The following relates to a wave absorbing device, and more particularly, to a wave absorbing device installed underwater in sea or river to exert the wave absorbing capability, thereby preventing possible damages due to tsunami, high waves, and the like.
- In order to prevent possible damages resulting from tsunami, high waves, and the like, various wave absorbing devices to be installed in a relatively shallow shore have been disclosed. Examples include a breakwater wherein a plurality of V-shaped bent bank bodies are provided in parallel with one another, being exposed from the water surface, and between adjacent bank bodies, a V-shaped bent water channel and a wave absorbing structure comprising one or more wave absorbing units which are each formed in the shape of an arc (substantially in the shape of a hemisphere) against a wave in any coming direction, and provided with a hollow chamber in the inside thereof, the hollow chamber being communicated with the seawater through an opening provided in the portion to be opposed to a wave in a typical coming direction.
- These wave absorbing devices are expensive in and of themselves due to their structures; are time-consuming for installation; and involve an increased total cost. To eliminate such drawbacks, the present inventor has already disclosed a wave absorbing method and a wave absorbing device, having a simple structure, being relatively low in cost of the device itself and installation cost, and yet providing an effective wave absorbing effect.
- The wave absorbing device in accordance with the invention as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3609052 is a wave absorbing device comprising one or more wave absorbing bodies having an open side extending in the longitudinal direction and a C-shaped cross section, to be installed underwater in a relatively shallow shore with the open side being oriented against the wave progress direction and inclined with respect to the wave progress direction, and thereby, on the wave hitting the offing side end of the wave absorbing body, allowing a flow to be created in the wave absorbing body by a water flow pressure difference caused between the inside of the offing side end of the wave absorbing body and the inside of the land side end thereof. (
FIG. 7 to be referenced). - Thus, with the wave absorbing device as disclosed with Japanese Patent Publication No. 3609052, one or more wave absorbing bodies having an open side extending in the longitudinal direction and a C-shaped cross section, are installed underwater lined up in a row in a relatively shallow shore with the open side being oriented against the wave progress direction and inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the wave progress direction, thereby a great gap being produced between wave absorbing bodies. (
FIG. 7 to be referenced). Therefore, a wave may pass through the gap to have an ill effect on the wave absorption action of the device. - As described above, with the wave absorbing device as disclosed with Japanese Patent Publication No. 3609052, a wave may pass through the gap to have an ill effect on the wave absorption effect. Then, it is an object of the present invention to provide a wave absorbing device which is free from such a problem, exerts a reliable and effective wave absorbing action, thereby preventing possible damages by tsunami, high waves, and the like, and allowing a sandy beach to be grown.
- The invention according to
claim 1 to solve the aforementioned problem is a wave absorbing device comprising one or more wave absorbing bodies having an inflow side face formed by removing part of a cylindrical body along the longitudinal direction and a C-shaped cross section, to be installed underwater in a relatively shallow shore with the inflow side face being oriented against the wave progress direction and inclined with respect to the wave progress direction; the wave absorbing body being available as a longer wave absorbing body or a shorter wave absorbing body; the longer wave absorbing body being provided with oblong relief holes formed at appropriate intervals; on a plurality of shorter wave absorbing bodies being used, the respective shorter wave absorbing bodies being disposed in a straight line, the adjacent opening ends being opposed in proximity to each other with a gap being held therebetween, thereby, on a wave hitting the offing side end of the longer wave absorbing body or the offing side end of a row of the shorter wave absorbing bodies, a flow being created in the inside of the longer wave absorbing body or the inside of the row of the shorter wave absorbing bodies by a water flow pressure difference caused between the inside of the offing side end of the longer wave absorbing body and the inside of the land side end thereof, or between the inside of the offing side end of the row of the shorter wave absorbing bodies and the inside of the land side end of thereof. - In one embodiment, a sub-wave absorbing body having the same geometry as that of the wave absorbing body, and the same diameter as or a smaller diameter than that of the wave absorbing body is connected onto the top and/or the bottom of the wave absorbing body with an appropriate gap being provided. In addition, the wave absorbing body has fixing piles, being fixed in the sea by means of the fixing piles.
- As can be seen from the above description of the present disclosure, when a wave hits the offing side end of a longer wave absorbing body or the offing side end of a row of shorter wave absorbing bodies, a flow is produced in the inside of the longer wave absorbing body or the inside of the row of the shorter wave absorbing bodies by a water flow pressure difference caused between the land side end of the longer wave absorbing body or between the land side end of the row of the shorter wave absorbing bodies, with no wave being unnecessarily passed through the relief hole in the longer wave absorbing body or the gap between shorter wave absorbing bodies to have an ill effect on the wave absorbing action; thus the wave absorbing effect being reliably and effectively provided, thereby possible damages due to tsunami, high waves, and the like, being minimized, and a sandy beach being allowed to be grown.

FIG. 6 is a view illustrating the operating state of the wave absorbing device; and -
FIG. 7 is a view illustrating the operating state of the wave absorbing device as disclosed with Japanese Patent Publication No. 3609052. - An embodiment will be explained with the reference to the accompanying drawings. The wave absorbing device is a wave absorbing device comprising one or more
wave absorbing bodies inflow side face 2 formed by removing part of a cylindrical body along the longitudinal direction and a C-shaped cross section, to be installed underwater in a relatively shallow shore, with theinflow side face 2 being oriented against the wave progress direction and inclined at, for example, 40 degrees with respect to the wave progress direction. - The wave absorbing body is available as a longer
wave absorbing body 1 or a shorterwave absorbing body 1 a, and, in application, one or more longerwave absorbing bodies 1 are arranged in a straight line, and a number of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a are arranged in a straight line. The respectivewave absorbing bodies fixing piles 3 which extend from the bottom or rear face in a downward direction, and the respectivewave absorbing bodies fixing piles 3. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 , thefixing pile 3 is mounted to a fixingpile mounting portion 17 provided on the rear face of thewave absorbing body fixing pile 3, aninserting portion 19 having anannular neck portion 18 is formed, and in the fixingpile mounting portion 17, aninserting hole 20 for inserting theinserting portion 19 is formed. And, in the middle portion of theinserting hole 20, an annular V-grooved portion 21 is formed, and aninjection passage 22 communicating from the annular V-groovedportion 21 to the outside face is formed. - In mounting the
fixing pile 3, theinserting portion 19 thereof is inserted into theinserting hole 20, and thereafter, from theinjection passage 22, abonding agent 23, such as resin, mortar, or the like, is injected. Thebonding agent 23 fills up the annular space having a cross-sectional shape of a diamond that is formed by the annular V-groovedportion 21 and theannular neck portion 18, and is solidified. Thus, thefixing pile 3 is firmly fixed such that it will not be dropped off from the fixingpile mounting portion 17. - The installation operation for the
wave absorbing body such fixing piles 3 is performed by disposing a suspendingmeans 25, such as a wire, or the like, on the top of thewave absorbing body crane hook 26 thereto to suspend thewave absorbing body FIG. 4 to be referenced). In order to allow the operation for installation into the sea bottom, including the installation height adjustment, to be made easily and rapidly, awater channel 27 extending along the longitudinal direction of thefixing pile 3 is formed therein, and into thiswater channel 27, high-pressure water is supplied. - The supplied high-pressure water is injected from an
injection nozzle 29 at the tip of the water channel toward the sea bottom to blow up the sand in front thereof. Thereby, a hole for embedding thefixing pile 3 is formed, and thus by lowering thewave absorbing body fixing pile 3 can be easily and smoothly driven into the embedding hole. Once thefixing pile 3 is embedded to a desired depth, the supply of the high-pressure water is stopped, and thecrane hook 26 is removed, then immediately thereafter, the sand around thefixing pile 3 is tightened, thereby thefixing pile 3 being firmly fixed. - If a
stopper 30 which is extended in a radial direction is provided in the middle portion of thefixing pile 3, further sinking of thefixing pile 3 before the sand therearound being tightened during the installation can be positively prevented. In addition, also when thewave absorbing body wave absorbing body water channel 27 in thefixing pile 3 in the same way will blow the surrounding sand loose, thereby allowing thefixing pile 3 to be easily drawn up or extracted. - The
wave absorbing body wave absorbing body 1 can be sized to be approx. 15 m in length, and approx. 2 to 5 m in diameter, while, the shorterwave absorbing body 1 a can have a length of approx. 3 m, and a diameter of approx. 2 to 5 m. - In the longer
wave absorbing body 1, oblong relief holes 4 are formed at appropriate intervals such that part of any wave flowing in the inside of the longerwave absorbing body 1 can flow out therethrough (FIG. 1 to be referenced). Thus, by providing the relief holes 4, any wave flowing into the longerwave absorbing body 1 is broken to be easily dispersed, the wave absorbing action being promoted. In addition, at the same time, the longerwave absorbing body 1 is prevented from being damaged by an excessive water flow pressure which would be applied without the relief holes 4. - In addition, when a number of shorter
wave absorbing bodies 1 a are used, being arranged, the respective shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a are arranged in a straight line, the adjacent opening ends being opposed in proximity to each other with an appropriate gap 5 being held (FIG. 2 to be referenced). The gap 5 exerts the same action as the relief hole 4, and by part of the wave being allowed to flow out from the gap 5, the wave absorbing action is promoted, and the shorterwave absorbing body 1 a is prevented from being damaged by an excessive water flow pressure which would be applied without the gap 5. - The geometry of the end of the respective
wave absorbing body wave absorbing body FIG. 3A ), or onto both top and bottom thereof (FIG. 3B ) with an appropriate gap 7 (FIG. 3B ). Also in this case, the longerwave absorbing body 1 is provided with the aforementioned oblong relief holes 4, and the shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a are connected to one another with the gap 5 being held. The gap 7 exerts the same action as the aforementioned relief hole 4 and the gap 5. - As described above, one or more longer
wave absorbing bodies 1 are disposed in a straight line, being arranged, and a number of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a are disposed in a straight line, being arranged, the respectivewave absorbing bodies fixing pile 3. - When a wave w comes against the wave absorbing device thus installed, the wave w first hits the nearest (offing side) end of the longer
wave absorbing body 1 or that of the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a, being installed inclined at, for example, 40 degrees with respect to the progress direction of the wave w, the water flow pressure being the highest at that end when the longerwave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a is viewed as a whole. Therefore, there occurs a great difference in water flow pressure between the nearest and farthest ends of the longerwave absorbing body 1 or those of the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a, and thus, in the longerwave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a, a flow is caused from the offing side, where the water flow pressure is higher, to the land side, where the water flow pressure is lower, thereby the mountain of the wave w is broken (FIG. 6A to be referenced) into waves with decreased heights being sequentially passed through the longerwave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a (FIG. 6B to be referenced). - This phenomenon occurs over the overall length of the longer
wave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing body 1 a as the wave w progresses. Furthermore, when the mountain of the wave w comes near the middle of the longerwave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a, the wave w is divided into water flows in both forward and backward directions in the longerwave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a. Thereby, while the wave w passes through the longerwave absorbing body 1 or the row of shorterwave absorbing bodies 1 a, the phenomenon of reduction in wave height sequentially occurs, an effective wave absorption is achieved as a whole. - Hereinabove, the present disclosure has been explained in detail to some extent, and about embodiments, however, since it is obvious that a wide range of different embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, it is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims.
