Abstract
In the present study, surface gravity wave scattering and radiation by a freely floating rectangular buoy placed near a partially reflecting seawall and in the presence of an array of caisson blocks are analyzed. Various hydrodynamic parameters related to the wave scattering and radiation, such as the added mass and radiation damping coefficients, correspond to sway, heave, and roll motions of the floating buoy, horizontal force, vertical force, and moment acting on the floating structure, and horizontal wave force acting on the partially reflecting seawall, are studied for a variety of wave and structural parameters. The study reveals that the resonating pattern in various hydrodynamic coefficients occurs for moderate values of the wavenumber. Furthermore, when the distance between the floater and the sidewall is an integral time of half wavelength, the resonating behavior in the sway, heave, and roll added masses, and associated damping coefficients appears, and the aforementioned hydrodynamic coefficients change rapidly around this zone. These resonance phenomena can be diminished significantly with appropriate positioning of the floater with respect to the sidewall and in the presence of partially reflecting seawall.
