Abstract
With potential applications as a breakwater, an elliptic plate horizontally submerged in waves is investigated within the scope of linear wave theory. An elliptical coordinate system is adopted, which has an advantage to represent the solution in an analytical form, i.e. an expansion of eigen functions. By means of separation of variables, it turns out that the eigen functions in the elliptical coordinates consist of the Mathieu functions and the modified Mathieu functions. The interaction of the elliptic plate with the waves is studied. The wave loads, as well as the scattered wave field, are evaluated.
