The Fourier Transform

The scattering of incident surface water waves due to small bottom undulation on the porous bed of a laterally unbounded ocean in the presence of surface tension at the free surface is investigated within the framework of two-dimensional linearized water wave theory. Perturbation analysis in conjunction with the Fourier transform technique is employed to derive the first-order reflection and transmission coefficients in terms of integrals involving the shape function c(x) representing the bottom undulation. One special type of bottom topography is considered as an example and the related coefficients are determined in detail. These coefficients are presented in graphical forms. The theoretical observations are validated computationally. The results for the problem involving scattering of water waves by bottom deformations on an impermeable ocean bed are obtained as a particular case.

AbstractThe problem of scattering of surface water waves obliquely incident on a fixed half immersed circular cylinder is solved approximately by reducing it to the solution of an integral equation and also by the method of multipoles. For different values of the angle of incidence and the wave number the reflection and transmission coefficients obtained by both methods are evaluated numerically and represented graphically to compare the results obtained by the respective methods.

AbstractAn approximate analysis, based on the standard perturbation technique, is described in this paper to find the corrections, up to first order to the reflection and transmission coefficients for the scattering of water waves by a submerged slender barrier, of finite length, in deep water. Analytical expressions for these corrections for a submerged nearly vertical plate as well as for a submerged vertically symmetric slender barrier of finite length are also deduced, as special cases, and identified with the known results. It is verified, analytically, that there is no first order correction to the transmitted wave at any frequency for a submerged nearly vertical plate. Computations for the reflection and transmission coefficients up to O(ε), where ε is a small dimensionless quantity, are also performed and presented in the form of both graphs and tables.

Effect Of Surface

AbstractIn this paper the effect of surface tension is included in a well-known problem in the theory of two-dimensional infinitesimal water waves. The problem is that of the reflection of waves from a fixed vertical barrier immersed to a depth a into deep water. It is shown how the solution for the velocity potential may be determined uniquely when simple assumptions are made concerning the behaviour of the free surface near the barrier. In particular, expressions are derived for the reflection coefficient, defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to that of the incident wave, at infinity, and the transmission coefficient, defined similarly. It is shown how these coefficients, for small values of the surface tension force, tend to the values obtained by Ursell (4) when surface tension is ignored. The related problem of a completely immersed vertical barrier extending to a distance a from the surface may be solved in a similar manner. Expressions for the reflection and transmission coefficients for this case are given.

In the present paper, reflection and transmission phenomena of water waves due to undulating permeable bottom in a two-layer fluid system are investigated using two-dimensional linearized theory. The effect of surface tension on the free surface is included in this work. In two-layer fluid system, there exist waves with two different wave numbers (modes). When a wave of a particular wave number encounters the undulating bottom, reflection and transmission phenomena occur in both the layers. The reflection and transmission coefficients in both layers due to incident waves of both modes are analyzed with the aid of perturbation analysis along with Fourier transform technique. It is found that these coefficients are obtained in terms of integrals which depend on the shape function of the undulating bottom. Two different kinds of undulating bottoms are considered to determine these coefficients. For a particular undulating bottom, namely sinusoidal bottom undulation the effect of various physical parameters such as number of ripples, surface tension and porous effect parameters are demonstrated graphically. The study further elaborates the energy balance relations associated with the reflection and transmission coefficients to ascertain the correctness of all the computed results.

AbstractThe problem of scattering of surface water waves by a horizontal circular cylinder totally submerged in deep water is well studied in the literature within the framework of linearised theory with the remarkable conclusion that a normally incident wave train experiences no reflection. However, if the cross-section of the cylinder is not circular then it experiences reflection in general. The present paper studies the case when the cylinder is not quite circular and derives expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients correct to order ∈, where ∈ is a measure of small departure of the cylinder cross-section from circularity. A simplified perturbation analysis is employed to derive two independent boundary value problems (BVP) up to first order in ∈. The first BVP corresponds to the problem of water wave scattering by a submerged circular cylinder. The reflection coefficient up to first order and the first order correction to the transmission coefficient arise in the second BVP in a natural way and are obtained by a suitable use of Green' integral theorem without solving the second BVP. Assuming a Fourier expansion of the shape function, these are evaluated approximately. It is noticed that for some particular shapes of the cylinder, these vanish. Also, the numerical results for the transmission coefficients up to first order for a nearly circular cylinder for which the reflection coefficients up to first order vanish, are given in tabular form. It is observed that for many other smooth cylinders, the result for a circular cylinder that the reflection coefficient vanishes, is also approximately valid.

Effect Of Surface

The influence of surface tension over an oblique incident waves in presence of thick rectangular barriers present in water of uniform finite depth is discussed here. Three different structures of a bottom-standing submerged barrier, submerged rectangular block not extending down to the bottom and fully submerged block extending down to the bottom with a finite gap are considered. An appropriate multi-term Galekin approximation technique involving ultraspherical Gegenbauer polynomial is employed for solving the integral equations arising in the mathematical analysis. The reflection and transmission coefficients of the progressive waves for two-dimensional time har- monic motion are evaluated by utilizing linearized potential theory. The theoretical result is validated numerically and explained graphically in a number of figures. The present result will almost match analytically and graphically with those results already available in the literature without considering the effect of surface tension. From the graphical representation, it is clearly visible that the amplitude of reflection coefficient decreases with increasing values of surface tension. It is also seen that the presence of surface tension, the change of width, and the height of the thick barriers affect the nature of the reflection coefficients significantly

AbstractAn approximate solution is determined for the problem of scattering of water waves by a nearly vertical plate, by reducing it to two mixed boundary-value problems (BVP) for Laplace's equation, using perturbation techniques. While the solution of one of these BVP is well-known, the other BVPs is reduced to the problem of solving two uncoupled problems, and the complete solution of the problem under consideration up to first-order accuracy is derived with a special assumption on the shape of the plate and a related approximation. Known results involving the reflection and transmission coefficients are reproduced.

The Fourier Transform

A modified Nicholson – Ross – Weir method was used to determine complex parameters and dielectric permittivity of ceramic materials in the range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The measuring equipment is a meter of complex reflection and transmission coefficients, a waveguide measuring canal with a special measuring cell, consisting of two irregular waveguides and a waveguide chamber between them, which provides insignificant influence of higher-order modes. The dependences of the amplitude and phase of the reflection and transmission coefficients on frequency were obtained experimentally for fluoroplastic and three ceramic samples in the frequency range 78.33–118.1 GHz. The obtained S-parameters are processed according to an algorithm that includes their averaging based on the Fourier transform in order to obtain the values of the dielectric permittivity. Fluoroplastic was used as a reference material with a known dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of fluoroplastic has a stable value of 2.1 in the above mentioned frequency range. The dielectric constant of sample No. 1 varies from 3.6 to 2.5 at the boundaries of the range, sample No. 2 – from 3.7 to 2.1, sample No. 3 – from 2.9 to 1.5. The experimental data are in satisfactory agreement with the literature data for other frequencies taking into account the limits set by the measurement uncertainty.

Transmission effects in the overburden are important for amplitude versus offset (AVO) studies and for true‐amplitude imaging of seismic data. Thin layers produce transmission effects which depend on frequency and slowness. We consider an inhomogeneous viscoelastic layered isotropic medium where the parameters depend on depth only. This takes into account both the effects of intrinsic attenuation and the effects of the layering (including changes in attenuation). The seismic wavefield is decomposed into up‐ and downgoing waves scaled with respect to the vertical energy flux. This gives important symmetry relations for the reflection and transmission responses. For a stack of homogeneous layers, the exact reflection response can be computed in a numerically stable way by a simple layer‐recursive algorithm. The reflection and transmission coefficients at a plane interface are functions of the complex medium parameters (depending on frequency) and the real horizontal slowness parameter. Approximations for weak contrast and weak attenuation are derived and compared to the exact values in two numerical examples. We derive first‐order approximations of the PP and SS transmission responses which are direct extensions of the well‐known O'Doherty‐Anstey formula. They consist of a phase shift and attenuation term from direct transmission through the layers and two attenuation terms from backscattered P‐ and S‐waves. The average of these transmission responses may be used for overburden corrections in AVO analysis. The first‐order PP and PS reflection responses have been computed for a stack of very thin layers corresponding to about 2800 m thickness. Because of a lack of data, the intrinsic attenuation was assumed to be constant in the layers. In the seismic frequency band, the intrinsic attenuation dominates the thin‐layer effects. Approximate and exact layer‐recursive modeling of the reflection responses for this layered medium are in good agreement.

Flexible Membranes

Bragg reflection of water waves by multiple vertical flexible membranes in water of uniform depth is investigated based on the assumption of linear wave theory and small membrane deflection. The multiple vertical flexible membranes consist of several floating vertical flexible membranes which are installed with both ends fixed. First, a single vertical flexible membrane in water waves is considered, and the reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained based on the eigenfunction expansion method and the least square method. Then the interaction of water waves with the multiple vertical flexible membranes is studied. Using the reflection and transmission coefficients obtained for the single flexible membrane, the reflection and transmission coefficients of the multiple vertical flexible membranes are obtained based on the wide spacing approximation. The proposed method is proved to be efficient by comparing the calculated coefficients with the results published in literature. The characteristics of Bragg reflection, such as the occurring condition, the primary amplitude and the effective bandwidth, are systematically investigated under various factors including the number, the tension, the draft and the spacing of membranes. The results of the present study have certain reference value for design of multiple vertical flexible membranes as effective floating breakwaters.
