The trapping of surface water waves by a thin plate in deep water is reduced to finding non-trivial solutions of a homogeneous, hypersingular integral equation for the discontinuity in velocity potential across the plate. The integral equation is discretized using an expansion-collocation method, involving Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. A non-trivial solution to the problem is given by the vanishing of the determinant inherent in such a method. Results are given for inclined flat… 

Radiation of water waves by a heaving submerged horizontal disc

A thin rigid plate is submerged beneath the free surface of deep water. The plate performs small-amplitude oscillations. The problem of calculating the radiated waves can be reduced to solving a

Hypersingular Integral Equation Approach for Hydroelastic Analysis of a Submerged Elastic Plate

In this paper, obliquely incident surface ocean waves interaction with a horizontal submerged thin floating elastic plate is investigated in ocean water of finite depth. Firstly, a proper Green’s

Interaction of water waves with thin plates

Various problems involving the interaction of water waves with thin plates are reduced to hypersingular boundary integral equations. Examples include scattering by submerged curved plates and by

On the diffraction of Poincaré waves

The diffraction of tidal waves (Poincaré waves) by islands and barriers on water of constant finite depth is governed by the two‐dimensional Helmholtz equation. One effect of the Earth's rotation is

Solitary and cnoidal wave scattering by a submerged horizontal plate in shallow water

Solitary and cnoidal wave transformation over a submerged, fixed, horizontal rigid plate is studied by use of the nonlinear, shallow-water Level I Green-Naghdi (GN) equations. Reflection and

The trapping of surface waves above a submerged, horizontal cylinder

The existence of surface waves trapped above a submerged horizontal cylinder was shown by Ursell to depend upon the vanishing of a certain infinite determinant. Here, the determinant is evaluated
