VHS System (Slit Caisson with Transparent Flat Plate)

VHS system is a low-crested, detached structure for waves and currents control, consisting of a front wall with vertical slits, a central wall, a back wall and a surface slab with horizontal slits. The transparent flat plate, which is positioned at surface level, minimizes the fluctuation of sea surface elevation. Ocean wave energy can be efficiently reduced owing to the low-crested structure of this system. The VHS system accommodates of a wide range of wave and tide conditions.
