ANNOUNCEMENT OF PUBLICATION 



The Beach Erosion Board announces the publication 

 of its Technical Memorandum No. 11 "Reflection of Soli- 

 tary Waves." Copies are being mailed to those individuals 

 and institutions on the mailing list for technical publi- 

 cations o 



Tne report is the result of experimental study of 

 the reflection of solitary waves conducted in the Board's 

 laboratory. 



Solitary wave crests were made to impinge upon 

 various types of structures. The amount of energy 

 absorbed from an incident wave by the structures was 

 determined. Fundamental equations defining the absorption 

 of wave energy are developed and the various absorption 

 coefficients are evaluated. 



A limited number of copies are available for distri- 

 bution upon request to the President, Beach Erosion Board, 

 Corps of Engineers, 5201 Little Falls Road, N. W„, 

 Washington 16, D„ C.
