Abstract

A train of small-amplitude surface waves is incident normally on an arbitrary arrangement of thin barriers lying in a vertical plane in deep water. Each barrier is allowed to make small rolling or swaying oscillations of the same frequency as that of the incident wave. The boundary-value problem for the consequent fluid motion, assumed two-dimensional, is solved exactly using a technique which enables the amplitudes of the scattered waves far from the barriers to be readily determined. Reference is made to the associated wave radiation problem and to the calculation of forces and moments on the barriers.
