This paper presents the results from a comprehensive experimental study on the Quadrant Face Pile Supported Breakwater (QPSB) in two different water depths exposed to three different oblique wave attacks. The results are compared with that for a Vertical face Pile Supported Breakwater (VPSB) for identical test conditions. The paper compares the reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, energy loss coefficient, non-dimensional pressure, and non-dimensional run-up as a function of the relative water depth and scattering parameter. The results obtained for QPSB are validated with existing results. The salient observations show that QPSB experiences better hydrodynamic performance characteristics than the VPSB under oblique waves.
