be more effective except the maximum dynamic pressure at T2 and T-shape baffle having a
height hB / h ≥ 0.8 would be very effective in reducing the dynamic pressure. Also seen is the
fact that the maximum pressure at T2 installed at the still liquid surface, is less than that of the
vertical baffle case due to the shallow water effect.

The effect of the vertical baffle is most pronounced in shallow water. It is revealed that flow
over a vertical baffle produced a shear layer, and energy was dissipated by viscous action. On
the other hand, the T-shape baffle is more effective in introducing the shallow water effects for
deep water case which dissipated energy by forming a hydraulic jump and a breaking wave.
