Combined Reflection and Diffraction by a Vertical Wedge

Discover a rigorous, math‑driven look at how waves interact with vertical structures in shallow water. This edition presents an analytical solution for how waves reflect and diffract around a wedge of any angle, with insights drawn from a plane wave entering from far away. It also highlights practical results and diagrams that engineers can use in design work. Two key cases are explored in depth: a thin semi‑infinite breakwater and a 90‑degree wedge. A companion subroutine, WEDGE, provides a tool for computing diffraction and reflection for arbitrary wedge angles, making the work useful for modeling and design.

  • Analytical framework for wave reflection and diffraction by a vertical wedge in constant-depth water
  • Special case analyses: thin semi‑infinite breakwater and 90‑degree wedge
  • Amplification–type diagrams that visualize wave behavior
  • Appendix with a computational subroutine for wedge angles
Ideal for readers of coastal engineering and wave‑interaction topics, especially those interested in analytical methods and practical design implications.
