Synopsis
Combined Reflection and Diffraction by a Vertical Wedge
Discover a rigorous, math‑driven look at how waves interact with vertical structures in shallow water. This edition presents an analytical solution for how waves reflect and diffract around a wedge of any angle, with insights drawn from a plane wave entering from far away. It also highlights practical results and diagrams that engineers can use in design work. Two key cases are explored in depth: a thin semi‑infinite breakwater and a 90‑degree wedge. A companion subroutine, WEDGE, provides a tool for computing diffraction and reflection for arbitrary wedge angles, making the work useful for modeling and design.
- Analytical framework for wave reflection and diffraction by a vertical wedge in constant-depth water
- Special case analyses: thin semi‑infinite breakwater and 90‑degree wedge
- Amplification–type diagrams that visualize wave behavior
- Appendix with a computational subroutine for wedge angles

Combined Reflection and Diffraction by a Vertical Wedge (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the combined wave reflection and diffraction by a vertical wedge of arbitrary wedge angle in a constant water depth. The author employs a sophisticated mathematical approach, utilizing Bessel functions, velocity potential functions, and finite cosine transforms to derive exact solutions for the problem. The book explores various wave parameters such as incident wave angle, wedge angle, and water depth, investigating their impact on the wave response. By presenting a thorough examination of this complex physical phenomenon, this book contributes to the broader understanding of wave interactions with coastal structures, enhancing our ability to design and manage coastal environments effectively.
