Surface Waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the evanescent field structure over the wave front, as represented by equiphase planes, is identified as one of the most important and easily recognizable forms of surface wave.

Wave effects on deformable bodies

TL;DR: In this paper, the linearized frequency-domain analysis of wave radiation and diffraction by a three-dimensional body in a fixed mean position is extended to a variety of deformable body motions.

The effect of a fixed vertical barrier on surface waves in deep water

F. Ursell, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that when the normal velocity is prescribed at each point of an infinite vertical plane extending from the surface, the motion on each side of the plane is completely determined.

A porous-wavemaker theory

TL;DR: In this article, a porous wavemaker theory is developed to analyse small-amplitude surface waves on water of finite depth, produced by horizontal oscillations of a porous vertical plate, and analytical solutions in closed forms are obtained for the surface-wave profile, the hydrodynamic-pressure distribution and the total force on the wavemaker.
