Abstract: During physical model tests of offshore structures in narrow wave tanks, wave reflections from the tank walls may substantially affect the hydrodynamic pressures and forces on the structure when ...

Abstract: The linearized theory of water waves is used to study the diffraction of an incident plane wave by a thin porous vertical breakwater of semi-infinite extent. Under the assumption that the wavelength is much greater than ...

Abstract: The linearized theory of water waves is used to examine the diffraction of an incident wave by a permeable breakwater that consists of a number of distinct elements. Under the assumption that the wavelength is much greater ...

Abstract: A previously published solution by the method of matched asymptotic expansions for scattering of long water waves by a pair of semi-infinite barriers is known to be incorrect. Here the reasons ...

Abstract: The linearized theory of water waves is used to study the diffraction of an incident wave by a gap in a permeable breakwater. Under the assumption that the wavelength is much greater than the thickness, the breakwater is ...
