Abstract

The interaction of regular waves with arrays of bottom-mounted circular cylinders is considered. This subject has been thoroughly investigated in the recent past, but most of the time under the assumption of regular and spatially periodic arrangements. Unlike these authors, we consider here arrays of unevenly spaced cylinders, displaced randomly from a regular array according to a disorder parameter. Focus is put on two effects of this spacing irregularity: reduction of peak forces associated to trapped mode phenomena, and regularization of the transmission coefficient for waves propagating through the arrays.
