Abstract
The eigenfunction expansion method is used to develop a theoretical solution for the flow field caused by monochromatic oblique waves incident upon an infinitely long, submerged, wide and vertical breakwater situated in arbitrary water depth. The breakwater is assumed to be uniform in the y- direction , rigid and impermeable, and the fluid motion is idealized as linearized, two-dimensional potential flow. Numerical results are presented to show the effect of different wave and structural parameters on the transmitted and reflected waves and the hydrodynamic loadings on the breakwater. The accuracy of the solution is verified by comparing the numerical results with the available theoretical or experimental results. Two different simplified solutions for the problem are presented under the approximation of plane-waves and under the assumption of long oblique waves.
