Waves in a harbour with partially reflecting boundaries
Abstract The present paper describes a method based on linear diffraction theory for predicting the wave field in a harbour containing partially reflecting boundaries. The method utilizes a point source representation of the harbour boundaries and a matching boundary which separates regions interior and exterior to the harbour, and involves the application of a partial reflection boundary condition. Numerical results are presented for the wave field within a rectangular harbour with a pair of symmetrical breakwaters, for cases of fully absorbing, fully reflecting, and partially reflecting boundaries. The method appears to be able to account adequately for the effects of wave diffraction and partial reflections, and to predict the wave field realistically.
