Abstract

The influence of regular bottom peaks or inclined part of the bottom surface on suppression of surface gravity waves is investigated on the basis of potential theory in the framework of the model of finite depth water. The method of spline-collocation is used for solving the problem in the region of variable depth. The influence of the number of local peaks and their height on the reflection coefficient is investigated. Also, the influence of inclined or inclined polygonal part is investigated. An analysis of characteristic features of the phenomenon and the possibility of effective wave suppression are presented.
