Abstract: In this paper, we apply a new analytical technique for nonlinear problems, namely the Homotopy Analysis Method (Liao 1992a), to give two-period formulas for oscillations of conservative ...

Abstract: The wave resonance in a circular harbor surrounded by a porous seawall is analyzed. Matching the velocity and pressure along the porous seawall and the harbor entrance, the full solution is ...

Abstract: The trapping and generation of surface waves by submerged vertical permeable barriers or plates kept at one end of a semi-infinitely long channel of finite depth are investigated for various barrier and plate configurations. ...

Abstract: The scattering of oblique incident surface waves by permeable vertical barriers in water of finite depth is investigated for four different barrier configurations: (1) A bottom-standing barrier; (2) a surface-piercing ...
