Abstract

Scattering properties of an incident field upon a periodic array of identical rectangular barriers, each extending throughout the water depth, are calculated based on a Galerkin approximation to an integral representation of the problem derived using the linear theory of water waves. The method incorporates full multi-modal scattring using the linear theory of water waves. The method incorporates full multi-modal scattering using a matrix formulation and is equivalent to a corresponding two-dimensional acoustics problem also discussed.
