Increasing extreme weather events require a corresponding increase in coastal protection. We show that architected materials, which have macroscopic properties that differ from those of their constituent components, can increase wave energy dissipation by more than an order of magnitude over both natural and existing artificial reefs, while providing a biocompatible environment. We present a search that optimized their design through proper hydrodynamic modeling and experimental testing, validated their performance, and characterized sustainable materials for their construction. Keywords: architected reefs, wave energy dissipation, porous body hydrodynamics, drag amplification
Significance Statement Artificial reefs architected to provide substantially increased wave energy dissipation per unit projected area, provide a capability that does not exist today to protect coastlines against increasing storm [...]
