Trapped modes in the water-wave problem for a freely-floating structure
نویسنده
چکیده
Trapped modes in the linearized water-wave problem are free oscillations of an unbounded fluid with a free surface that have finite energy; it has been known for some time that such modes are supported by certain structures when held fixed. This paper investigates the problem of a freelyfloating structure that is able to move in response to the hydrodynamic forces acting upon it and it is shown that trapped modes also exist in this problem. For a freely-floating structure a trapped mode is a coupled oscillation of the fluid and the structure.

Motion trapping structures in the three-dimensional water-wave problem
Trapped modes in the linearized water-wave problem are free oscillations of finite energy in an unbounded fluid with a free surface. It has been known for some time that such modes are supported by certain structures when held fixed, but recently it has been demonstrated that in two dimensions trapped modes are also possible for freely-floating structures that are able to respond to the hydrody...
متن کاملPassive trapped modes in the water wave problem for a floating structure
Trapped modes in the linearised water-wave problem are free oscillations of an unbounded fluid with a free surface that have finite energy. It is known that such modes may be supported by particular fixed structures, and also by certain freely-floating structures in which case there is, in general, a coupled motion of the fluid and structure; these two types of mode are referred to respectively...
متن کاملTrapped Modes around Freely Floating Bodies in Two-layer Fluids
We consider the coupled system modeling the interaction of time-harmonic progressive water-waves with an array of three-dimensional freely floating obstacles in a two-layer fluid. Presenting a variational and operator formulation for the problem and a condition guaranteeing the existence of trapped waves, we give a number of examples of floating structures supporting trapped waves. We also stud...
متن کاملTrapped modes around freely floating bodies in a two-layer fluid channel.
Unlike the trapping of time-harmonic water waves by fixed obstacles, the oscillation of freely floating structures gives rise to a complex nonlinear spectral problem. Still, through a convenient elimination scheme the system simplifies to a linear spectral problem for a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space. Under symmetry assumptions on the geometry of the fluid domain, we present condition...
متن کاملWater-wave propagation through an infinite array of floating structures
The frequency-domain problem of water-wave propagation through a periodically arranged infinite array of structures is solved using the method of matched asymptotic expansions for both shallow and deep water; the structures are assumed to be small relative to the wave length and the array periodicity, and may be fixed or float freely. Explicit approximations to the frequencies of propagating mo...
