Abstract

We describe a method to construct devices which allows a vertical rigid cylinder to be cloaked for any far-field observer in the case of linear water waves. An adaptation of parameters given by a geometric transform performed in the mild-slope equation is achieved via homogenization. The final device, which respects the physical constraints of the problem, is obtained with a conformal mapping. The result of this algorithm is a structure surrounding the vertical cylinder, composed of an annular region with varying bathymetry and with rigid vertical objects piercing the free surface. An approximate cloaking is achieved, which implies a reduction of the mean drift force acting on the cylinder.
