Abstract
- The interactions between regular surface waves and a surface-pitching slotted barrier are investigated both analytically and experimentally. A quasi-linear theory is developed using the eigenfunction expansion method. The energy dissipation within the barriers is modeled by a quadratic friction factor, and an equivalent linear dissipation coefficient, which is depth-varying, wave-height dependent, is introduced to linearize the matching condition at the surface-pitching barrier. By comparing the theoretical results with laboratory experiments, it is shown that the present method can satisfactorily predict the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with wave height.
