Mach Effect of Oblique Nonlinear Irregular Waves Interacting with Vertical Walls

摘要

Based on Hong’s theory, previous random models, and a generalized expression suitable for FFT calculation, the interaction between irregular waves and vertical walls is numerically simulated. The results of simulation demonstrate that the wave energy changes with the incidence angle and the distance from the wall. Particularly, the Mach effect and the combined wave spectrum characteristics are analyzed in detail, which are significant in both theory and practice.
