Three kind of system composed with buoyant flap hinged at the sea floor are modeled experimentally. The mechanically coupled system provides shelter by reflecting incident waves and by attenuating wave energy through structural and viscous damping. The characteristics of wave reflection, transmission and dynamic angle of the flap oscillation for various conditions were investigated. The structure can minimize wave transmission by attaching offshore wing wall.
