Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrodynamic characteristics of an oscillating water column device

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

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

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

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

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.
