Water wave interaction with different structures and obstacles due to various types of bottom topography in a homogeneous fluid and a two layer fluid

Abstract

This thesis attempts to contribute to the understanding of the mechanism behind the interaction of water waves with an elastic bottom topography an ice sheet and some porous structures the importance of which has been increasing with continuing attempts made to promote the economic and commercial benefits of coastal and polar regions in a sustainable and environment friendly manner The research in the thesis focuses on various aspects of water wave scattering in the area of coastal and polar...
