Abstract: | Gravity wave interaction with porous structures is investigated under the assumption of linearized wave theory. Multiple porous blocks of finite thickness with finite spacing are investigated under the action of oblique ocean waves considering leeward unbounded region and confined region. The eigenfunction expansion method is employed to analyse the effect of multiple-confined regions in the trapping of oblique waves. The study outcomes are validated with numerical and experimental results available in the literature. The friction factor and the inertia effect of the porous medium are considered and different porosity conditions are adopted to determine the wave reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, wave dissipation and wave force impact on the leeward wall. The functional efficiency of multiple fully extended porous structures is studied for different values of porosity, water chamber length, angle of incidence, friction factor and spacing between the porous blocks. The seabed is assumed to be uniform impermeable bottom and uneven bottom (step approximation is adopted). The study demonstrates that the better wave blocking is achieved with the increase in the series of porous structures and the confined regions can be used effectively for the trapping of oblique waves. The present study will be helpful in the design of porous structures for security of coastal facilities and coastal structures in offshore environment. 2019, 2019 Indian Society for Hydraulics. |
