In theory, this process allows us to effectively control wave energy – either by reducing destructive waves like tsunamis or ... “Once lab validation is achieved, designing real-world scaled acoustic ...

With a constructive wave, the swash is stronger than the backwash. With a destructive wave, the backwash is stronger than the swash. The backwash then flows back to the sea in a straight line at 90°.

A tsunami is a series of large, persistent waves caused by the sudden displacement of a body of water. Earthquakes are responsible for more than 80 per cent of tsunamis that form around the world ...
