<![CDATA[Abstrak. Efektifitas pemecah gelombang dapat diukur dengan mengukur koefisien transmisi (KT). Semakin kecil koefisien transmisi maka semakin efektif pemecah gelombang ini. Pengujian model fisik dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai koefisien transmisi dari Perforated Skirt Breakwater (PSB). Model PSB diuji dalam saluran gelombang 2-D di Laboratorium Gelombang Teknik Kelautan FTSL ITB, untuk mengetahui keefektifannya terhadap kategori gelombang panjang (periode prototipe, Tp = 7 detik). Penskalaan untuk model PSB menggunakan prinsip Keserupaan Froude dimana bilangan Froude model setara dengan bilangan Froude prototipe (Frm=Frp). Saluran gelombang dilengkapi dengan 5 sensor gelombang tipe tahanan listrik dan 8 saluran DAS (Data Acquisition System). Data tinggi gelombang (H) dan periode gelombang (T) diamati secara manual melalui pengamatan visual dan diperoleh melalui rekaman sensor gelombang (yang selanjutnya diproses menggunakan metode "zero mean up-crossing"). Tinggi gelombang datang di depan PSB (Hi) dan tinggi gelombang transmisi di belakang PSB (Ht) diukur dan diproses untuk mendapatkan koefisien transmisi (KT). Selanjutnya, hubungan antara KT dan bilangan tak-berdimensi, kedalaman sirip / tinggi gelombang datang (S/Hi) dianalisis dan nilai koefisien transmisi (KT) untuk berbagai kondisi lingkungan diperoleh. Abstract. The effectiveness of a breakwater can be measured by quantifying the transmission coefficient (KT). The smaller the coefficient, more effective the performance of the breakwater. A physical modeling on the proposed breakwater was conducted to identify the coefficient of Perforated Skirt Breakwater (PSB). The PSB model was tested in 2-D wave flume at Ocean Wave Research Laboratory FTSL ITB, to obtain the effectiveness of PSB for long-period waves (prototype periods, Tp= 7 second). The scaling of PSB models applies the principle of Froude Similarity, where the Froude number in the model equals to the Froude number in prototype (Frm=Frp). The wave flume is equipped with 5 resistance-type wave probes and 8-channels of DAS (Data Acquisition System). Wave heights (H) and wave periods (T) data were observed both manually by visual observation and from wave probes record (processed later with method of "zero mean up-crossing" technique). The incoming wave heights (Hi) and transmitted wave heights (Ht) - before and after PSB, respectively - were measured and processed to obtain the transmission coefficient (KT). The relationships between KT and non-dimensional variables (skirt draft / incident wave height, S/Hi) are analyzed and the calculated KT for varied environmental condition are obtained.]]>
