AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON TRANSMISSION AND REFLECTION OF NONLINEAR SHALLOW WATER WAVES ON A TWO-DIMENSIONAL FIXED FLOATING BODY

An analytical study is made by using the method of matched asymptotic expansion on the transmission and reflection of solitary waves and cnoidal waves on two-dimensional floating bodies. The solutions give explicitly the variation pattern of the transmitted waves and the characteristics of the reflected waves, including their wave profile, amplitude, phase shift and evolution. The effects of the gap between the body and the sea bottom on the transmission and reflection of those waves are also discussed.
