| Abstract: | This study examines the reflection of obliquely incident waves by an infinite array of partially perforated caissons. Based on the linear potential theory, an analytical solution of the present problem was developed by means of the matched eigenfunction expansion method. The solution was obtained in a single strip consisting of the semi-infinite narrow region in front of a caisson and the fluid domain inside this caisson. It was then extended to the whole fluid domain by using the periodicities of the structure and the incident waves along the length of the caissons. The present model was validated by comparing the reflection coefficients of several limiting cases with the corresponding results obtained by previous researchers. Numerical experiments were also conducted to examine the variations of the reflection coefficient versus its main effect factors. The numerical results indicate the differences between the present model and the previous limiting cases, and some helpful results are recommended for practical engineering. |
