Abstract

Bragg reflection of water waves by multiple semicircular structures fixed on the water surface is investigated by using the boundary element method (BEM). It is based on the linear wave theory. In order to verify the correctness of BEM, the reflection coefficient of multiple semicircular structures fixed on the seabed is calculated. And the numerical results are compared with the theoretical results in literature. The effectiveness of the multiple semicircular structures fixed on the water surface in attenuating waves based on the principle of Bragg reflection is also proved. The effects of the number, the radius and the spacing of semicircular structures on the characteristics of Bragg reflection are investigated. The results of this study can provide a certain reference for the design of breakwater based on the principle of Bragg reflection.
