Abstract

The steady-gravity wave motion is considered for two immiscible layers of incompressible and nonviscous fluids in the presence of a porous wave maker immersed vertically in the two fluids, the upper fluid having a free surface and the lower fluid is of infinite depth. The boundary value problem for the velocity potentials is solved using Taylor's assumption on the wave maker. Also the scattering of a harmonic wave incident normally to the wave maker is considered and the reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained. The case when the lower fluid is of finite depth is also considered. The results are plotted for different values of porosity and different values of the density ratio.
