Abstract
Abstract The focal point of the current study lies in investigating oblique wave scattering within the framework of linear potential theory, with particular attention to scenarios involving asymmetric trenches of both finite and infinite depths. By employing the eigenfunction expansion method, the physical problem undergoes a transformation into an equivalent boundary value problem. This newly formulated problem is characterized by a system of four weakly singular integral equations, which pertain to the horizontal component of velocity across the gaps situated above the edges of the trenches. The solution to these integral equations is achieved through the utilization of a multi-term Galerkin approximation method. This approach involves expansions using ultraspherical Gegenbauer polynomials as basis functions, coupled with the appropriate weight functions tailored to address the one-third singularity. Graphical representations are employed to depict the numerical evaluations of reflection and transmission coefficients across various non-dimensional parameters. These visualizations offer insight into the behavior and dependencies of these coefficients under different conditions. To validate the accuracy of the current model, it is compared against previously published results available in the literature.
