Abstract

The linearized problem of water-wave reflexion by a thin barrier of arbitrary permeability is considered with the restriction that the flow be two-dimensional. The formulation includes the special case of transmission through one or more gaps in an otherwise impermeable barrier. The general problem is reduced to a set of integral equations using standard techniques. These equations are then solved using a special decomposition of the finite depth source potential which allows accurate solutions to be obtained economically. A representative range of solutions is obtained numerically for both finite and infinite depth problems.
