Short surface waves in the presence of a finite dock. II

Abstract

AbstractThe generalized wave-making problem for the forced high-frequency oscillations of a finite dock is solved through use of the Green's function obtained in the first part of this paper. The specific cases of heave and roll are considered with particular reference to the forces on the dock and the amplitude and phase of the radiated waves. These results are then utilized to solve the problem of transmission of short waves under a fixed dock.
