In this paper, the numerical model to analyze the wave absorbing performance of upright perforated plates is developed under the linear potential theory. If the drag force is dominent to the inertia force in passing perforated plate, the characteristics of perforated plates are determined by a nondimensionlized real-value of G or a length scaled real-value of a. The parameters (G,a), which depend on the drag coefficient, porosity and local shape of plates, can be readily obtained by simple experiments. We investigated the reflection coefficients over a wide frequency range according to the arrays of perforated plates with different values of G and a. We found that the wave absorbing system using the arrays of upright perforated plates is sufficient to install in the ocean engineering basin.
