A
breakwater for port channel
engineering, comprising: a
riprap base
bed arranged on the
seabed; a superimposed block arranged on the upper part of the
riprap base
bed, a plurality of superimposed blocks being stacked up and down; a wave absorbing box arranged above the topmost superimposed block, the front end of the wave absorbing box being an inflow grille; a wave absorbing
assembly arranged inside the wave absorbing box, the wave absorbing
assembly comprising a wave absorbing
ridge and a
backflow plate; a flow guiding
assembly arranged behind the wave absorbing assembly; a buffer slope arranged in front of the wave absorbing box; and a flow dividing plate arranged above the buffer slope, the flow dividing plate being connected to the buffer slope by a
rope. The device makes the water
waves entering the wave absorbing box multiple energy dissipation and wave breaking through the energy dissipation of the wave absorbing
ridge, the energy dissipation of the U-shaped groove and the energy conversion of the flow guiding wheel, so that the
water flow behind the outflow grille remains calm; the buffer slope and the flow dividing plate preliminarily weaken the water
waves, reducing the probability of damage to the internal components of the wave absorbing box and improving the practical life of the device.
