Abstract : This study examines the dispersion of water waves by inverted semicircular surface-piercing wave barriers installed on a stepped seabed. The “Boundary element method” is applied to handle the present “Boundary value problem”. In addition to this energy identity is derived to estimate the dispersion of wave energy by the pair of perforated wave barriers. In addition, the influence of porosity, geometrical configurations of pair of porous barriers, and stepped seabed on the energy dissipation are investigated. The study reveals that for smaller Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) number, the “energy dissipation” due to the perforated barriers is higher. However, the reflection coefficient shows the opposite pattern.
