Abstract

The problem of scattering of surface water waves obliquely incident on a fixed half immersed circular cylinder is solved approximately by reducing it to the solution of an integral equation and also by the method of multipoles. For different values of the angle of incidence and the wave number the reflection and transmission coefficients obtained by both methods are evaluated numerically and represented graphically to compare the results obtained by the respective methods.
