Long Ocean Wave Scattering by Linear Segmented Topographies.

Abstract

Problems of transmission and reflection of long, time harmonic, free surface gravity waves obliquely incident from a constant depth ocean upon linearly varying bottom topographies are considered. A solution to the vertically integrated dynamic equations over linear depth variation is developed in terms of Kummer functions. Coriolis effects are included but primary interest is on Class I (high frequency) long waves. Three cases are treated; the continental slope and shelf, the submerged ridge and the submerged trench.
