Interaction of hydro-elastic waves with a vertical wall

This study aims to gain knowledge on how hydroelastic waves interact with off-shore structures, for example off-shore wind turbines or oil rigs. The linear two-dimensional problem of hydroelastic waves reflected by a vertical wall is analysed. Water is of finite depth and is covered by ice. The flui...

Description
Summary:This study aims to gain knowledge on how hydroelastic waves interact with off-shore structures, for example off-shore wind turbines or oil rigs. The linear two-dimensional problem of hydroelastic waves reflected by a vertical wall is analysed. Water is of finite depth and is covered by ice. The fluid is assumed incompressible and inviscid. The ice sheet is assumed thin compared with both the water depth and length of the incident
