Mandal, BN and Chakrabarti, A (1989) A Note on Diffraction of Water Waves by a Nearly Vertical Barrier. In: IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics, 43 (2). pp. 157-165.Full text not available from this repository.
A simplified perturbational analysis is employed, together with the application of Green's theorem, to determine the first-order corrections to the reflection and transmission coefficients in the problem of diffraction of surface water waves by a nearly vertical barrier in two basically important cases: (i) when the barrier is partially immersed and (ii) when the barrier is completely submerged. The present analysis produces the desired results fairly easily and relatively quickly as compared with the known integral equation approach to this class of diffraction problems.
