Second-order interaction of irregular waves with a truncated column. (English) Zbl 0903.76011

The title problem is important for marine hydrodynamics because it describes the wave motion around a rigid fixed body. This problem was studied by many authors with different methods and in different formulations. The authors themselves studied the problem of second-order diffraction by a vertical cylinder, truncated or not, for monochromatic waves in some papers published between 1978 and 1996 and quoted in the bibliography, by using a semi-analytical method. Now, they extend this method to the bichromatic waves, formulating the corresponding boundary value problem in a cylindrical system of coordinates. The theoretical results obtained are then applied to a particular real case where the authors present the profiles and magnitudes of second-order sum-frequency quadratic transfer functions for different regimes, and the profiles of maximum amplitudes of first-order free surface elevations around the truncated column.
