Abstract

In a companion paper the existence of trapped waves over submerged cylinders has been analysed, and a necessary condition for their excitation was derived. In the present paper, this study is extended to obtain physically more important results. First we consider a more realistic geometry, namely a finite, although slender, cylinder. Second we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the excitation of trapped modes; and lastly, the induced resonant response is studied with the multiple-scales technique. It is shown then that the wave amplitude satisfies an equation similar to the resonant nonlinear oscillator.
