In the case where the tank contains a single barrier, the geometry of the tank is equivalent to the unit cell of the cognate periodic array, and its eigenmodes are equivalent to standing Bloch waves. As the submergence depth of the barrier increases, it is shown that the passbands (i.e. frequency intervals in which the periodic array supports Bloch waves) become thinner, and that this effect becomes stronger at higher frequencies. The eigenmodes of a uniform array of vertical barriers in a rectangular tank are also considered. They are found to be a superposition of left- and right-propagating Bloch waves, which couple together at the lateral walls of the tank. A homotopy procedure is used to relate the eigenmodes to the quasimodes of the same uniform array in a fluid of infinite horizontal extent, and the quasimodes are shown to govern the response of the array to incident waves. Qualitative features of the mode shapes are typically preserved by the homotopy, which suggests that the resonant responses of the array in an infinite fluid can be understood in terms of modes of the array in a finite tank.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49367,"journal":{"name":"Wave Motion","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103444"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142698664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are two varieties of time-harmonic propagating waves (free-surface and flexural modes) that exist in the region in the case of any specific frequency. One variety of proliferating waves having smaller wavenumber spreads on the top surface, while another spreads along the thin, flexible base.

Subsequently, employing the Fourier transform approach, the first-order approximation of reflected and transmitted energy are acquired in the case of both modes of waves. Two specific examples of irregular floor are taken up to validate the theoretical outcomes flourished in this study. The influence of free-surface tension and flexible floor on the oblique wave propagation over uneven floor are analyzed and depicted graphically for certain sets of parametric values involved in the problem. The presence of free-surface tension on the upper boundary of the fluid introduces a third-order linearized boundary condition into the formulation of the wave-structure interaction problem, unlike the usual homogeneous first-order condition applicable for a free-surface. When a series of obliquely incident waves corresponding to free-surface and flexural modes spread over an irregular flexible floor of the fluid, the free-surface tension acts as a resistive force to the surface gravity waves. It can be inferred from this that the influence of surface tension at the free-surface of the fluid should not always be overlooked while dealing with the linear wave-structure interaction problem. Further, numerical estimation of reflected and transmitted energy for both varieties of time-harmonic waves are presented to confirm the analytical forms of energy relations almost accurately.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49367,"journal":{"name":"Wave Motion","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103433"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142650916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A constitutive relation incorporating these local rotational effects is proposed, and ratified using a representative discrete model using linear Hookean springs and identical rigid disks. The new continuum model is used to generate a dispersion relation for harmonic plane waves propagating in an arbitrary direction, which is subsequently compared to the dispersion behaviour of the original discrete model.
