Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic characteristics of an oscillating water column device
D. V. Evans,Richard Porter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wave energy device consisting of a thin vertical surface-piercing barrier next to a vertical wall in finite depth water is considered, and power is extracted due to a normally incident wave forcing the free surface of the fluid between the barrier and the wall to oscillate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complementary approximations to wave scattering by vertical barriers
Richard Porter,D. V. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Galerkin approximation method was proposed to solve the wave scattering problem in finite-depth water with respect to vertical barriers in a rectangular tank and a vertical barrier in a vertical pool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave scattering by narrow cracks in ice sheets floating on water of finite depth
D. V. Evans,Richard Porter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an explicit solution for the scattering of an obliquely incident flexural-gravity wave by a narrow straight-line crack separating two semi-infinite thin elastic plates floating on water of finite depth is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-trapping of waves by circular arrays of vertical cylinders
D. V. Evans,Richard Porter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of incident waves on arrays of identical bottom-mounted circular cylinders arranged in a circle is considered, and it is shown that large peaks in the forces on circular arrays of four, five and six cylinders develop as the gap between the cylinders is reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rayleigh–Bloch surface waves along periodic gratings and their connection with trapped modes in waveguides
Richard Porter,D. V. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical method is described which enables the frequencies of the Rayleigh-Bloch surface waves to be determined as a function of the dominant wave wvenumber for an arbitrary cylinder cross-section.
