The reflection of oblique incident waves from breakwaters with a partially-perforated front wall is investigated. Thefluid domain is divided into two sub-domains and the eigenfunction expansion method is applied to expand velocity poten-tials in each domain. In the eigen-expansion of the velocity potential, evanescent waves are included. Numerical resultsof the present model are compared with experimental data. The effect of porosity, the relative chamber width, the relativewater depth in the wave absorbing chamber and the water depth in front of the structure are discussed.
