Abstract: Based on Boussinesq equations and parabolic approximation, the forward diffraction of cnoidal waves by a straight breakwater is studied numerically. The formation of stem waves along the breakwater and the relation between ...

Abstract: In an earlier work, Ismail and Wiegel (1983) observed experimentally that due to the effects of opposing waves, the spreading rates of a momentum jet are increased. They argued that the increases are caused by the radiation ...

Abstract: The forward and the backward scattered wave fields from an energy dissipation region are investigated. Analytical solutions are obtained for two‐dimensional problems. Results can be used in estimating the reflection ...
