A Jarlan-type perforated caisson (JTPC) was an important form of structure in offshore and coastal engineering and its wave attenuation performance was greatly affected by μ (the perforated rate). In the present research, a numerical model based on VARANS equations was tested by comparing the simulation results with physical experiments and then adopted to study the effect of a larger range of μ on wave attenuation performance which included both the horizontal wave forces and the reflection coefficients. Conclusions were drawn that the total horizontal wave force and the reflection coefficient both tended to decrease and then increase with increasing μ; when the reflection coefficient reached its minimum value as about μ=0.2, the wave force at the seaward side of the perforated front wall tended to be equal to that at the solid rear wall; the total horizontal wave force reached its minimum value as about μ=0.3.
