Description:
A train of surface gravity waves of wavelength λ in a channel of depth H is incident on a horizontal plate of length l that is submerged to a depth c. Under the assumption that both λ and l are large compared with H, the method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to show that, to first order, the reflexion coefficient R and the transmission coefficient T are given by [Formula Omitted] and [Formula Omitted] where [Formula Omitted] Σ is the angular frequency and g the acceleration due to gravity. © 1977, Cambridge University Press.
