STUDY ON THE MEASUREMENT METHODS OF MULTI-DIRECTIONAL WAVES BY WAVE GAUGE ARRAY

Measuring multi-directional waves by wave gauge array is one of the fundamental and easily realised methods. In this paper, five wave gauges are used and the effects of the gauge spacing and the array orientations etc. of the three array layouts, i.e., linear array, T- type array and pentagon array, on the resolution of the wave directional spreading are investigated by experiment. It will be useful for the experimental study and field measurement of directional waves.
