Water wave scattering by a surface-mounted rectangular anisotropic elastic plate
Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Zachary J. Wegert +2
This paper considers the problem of water wave scattering by a rectangular anisotropic elastic plate mounted on the ocean surface, with either free, clamped or simply-supported edg…
A generalized inner product-based wave scattering from an underwater source in a compressible ocean
R. Pethiyagoda, S. Das, B. Wilks +1
Motivated by applications to underwater explosions and volcanic eruptions, this paper considers the evolution of an initial pressure disturbance in the ocean, including effects due…
Simultaneous layout and device parameter optimisation of a wave energy park in an irregular sea
Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Fabien Montiel +4
The design of optimal wave energy parks, namely, arrays of devices known as wave energy converters (WECs) that extract energy from water waves, is an important consideration for th…
Water wave interactions with surface-piercing vertical barriers in a rectangular tank: Connections with Bloch waves and quasimodes
Ben Wilks, Fabien Montiel, Luke G. Bennetts +1
Eigenmodes are studied for a fluid-filled rectangular tank containing one or more vertical barriers, and on which either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are prescribed on…
A mechanistic evaluation of the local Bloch wave approximation in graded arrays of vertical barriers
Ben Wilks, Fabien Montiel, Sarah Wakes
Wave interaction with graded metamaterials exhibits the phenomenon of rainbow reflection, in which broadband wave signals slow down and separate into their frequency components bef…
Graded arrays of vertical barriers: rainbow reflection and broadband energy absorption
Ben Wilks, Fabien Montiel, Sarah Wakes
The rainbow reflection effect describes the broadband spatial separation of wave spectral components caused by a spatially graded array of resonators. Although mainly studied in op…
