Abstract
The linear theory for waves impinging obliquely on a vertical thin barrier is examined. Three types of structures are analysed: a barrier descending from the water surface to a distance, d, an underwater barrier, and a barrier with a submerged horizontal slit. Theoretical solutions are obtained by an eigenfunction expansion method for the transmission and reflection coefficients. The plane wave approximation is further examined and compared to the full solution. The distribution of the pressure along the barrier is also calculated and the maximum horizontal force is compared to the case of a vertical wall.
