Abstract: In the present paper, the effect of a small bottom undulation of the sea bed in the form of periodic
bed form on the surface waves generated due to a rolling oscillation of a vertical barrier either partially
immersed or completely submerged in water of non uniform finite depth is investigated. A simplified
perturbation technique involving a non dimensional parameter characterizing the smallness of the bottom
deformation is applied to reduce the given boundary value problem to two independent boundary value
problems upto first order. The first boundary value problem corresponds to the problem of water wave
generation due to rolling oscillation of a vertical barrier either partially immersed or completely submerged in
water of uniform finite depth. This is a well known problem whose solution is available in the literature. From
the second boundary value problem, the first order correction to the wave amplitude at infinity is evaluated in
terms of the shape function characterizing the bottom undulation, by employing Green's integral theorem. For a
patch of sinusoidal ripples at the sea bottom, the first order correction to the wave amplitude at infinity for both
the configuration of the barrier is then evaluated numerically and illustrated graphically for various values of
the wave number. It is observed that resonant interaction of the wave generated, with the sinusoidal bottom
undulation occurs when the ratio of twice the wavelength of the sinusoidal ripple to the wave length of waves
generated, approaches unity. Also it is found that the resonance increases as the length of the barrier increases.

1 Introduction1
The interaction of linear waves with a thin floating plate
present in laterally unbounded sea can be used the depth of
the sea is not constant. Due to this reason the effect of
irregular bottom topography on waves are studied. The
interaction of incident waves with irregular bottom
topography of sea bed finds its importance in understanding
the mechanism of wave induced mass transport that forms
sand ripples of some wavelength. If this wavelength is half
that of the incident wave train then these ripples produce a
resonant behaviour in the reflected waves. A significant
research both theoretical and experimental, has been carried
out in this direction (Davies, 1982; Davies and Heathershaw,
1984; Fitz-Gerald, 1976; Roseau, 1976). In all above studies,
the bottom undulation was the only obstacle in the
propagation of waves. Later on, the study of the behaviour
of surface waves due to irregular bottom topography was
modified by including the effect of a thin floating plate.
These problems were studied when the floating plate is in
form of a very large floating structures (Wang and Meylan,
2002; Belibassakis and Athanassoulis, 2005; Watanabe et al.,
2004).

In recent past, Mandal and Gayen (2006) and Mandal and
De (2007) studied the effect of a thin floating plate in form
of a breakwater either partially immersed or submerged in
sea with variable bottom topography, on the surface waves
incident on it. They used a perturbation technique together
with Green's integral theorem and Galerkin technique to
obtain the reflection and transmission coefficients.
In the present paper we have investigated the effect of
irregular bottom topography on the wave generated by
rolling oscillation of a vertical barrier either partially
immersed or completely submerged in water. Problems
concerning generation of waves due to rolling oscillation of
a vertical barrier partially immersed in deep water was
studied long back in 1948 by Ursell. He used singular
integral equation formulation to obtain closed form solution
of this problem. Later Evans (1970) and Banerjea and
Mandal (1992) studied the problem of generation of waves
due to rolling of a submerged vertical barrier in deep water.
Evans (1970) used complex variable method while Banerjea
and Mandal (1992) used integral equation formulation to
obtain the closed form solution. These problems are among
a limited number of problems which admit of closed form
solution. Later Banerjea et al. (1996) and (1997) considered
the effect of finite depth of water region on the waves due to
rolling of a vertical barrier partially immersed or completely
submerged in water of uniform finite depth. They used two
different methods to obtain the amplitude of the waves

produced. The first method involves the eigen function
expansion of the velocity potential describing the ensuing
motion in water while the other method involves a
hypersingular integral equation formulation. The two
methods produce almost the same result for the amplitude at
infinity of the radiated waves for both the configurations of
the barrier.
In the present paper we have applied a perturbation
technique (Mandal and Gayen, 2006; Mandal and De, 2007)
in terms of a parameter describing smallness of the bottom
undulation to reduce the boundary value problem to two
independent boundary value problems upto first order. The
first boundary value problem corresponds to the known
problem of wave generation by a vertical barrier either
partially immersed (Banerjea et al., 1996) or completely
submerged (Banerjea et al., 1997) in water of uniform depth
h. From the second boundary value problem the first order
correction to the wave amplitude at infinity for both the
configurations of the barrier is obtained by applying suitably
the Green's integral theorem. The numerical results for the
wave amplitude at infinity is illustrated for different values
of wave number when the sea bottom has a patch of
sinusoidal ripples. It is observed that when the wavelength
of the waves generated is equal to twice the wavelength of
the sinusoidal ripples at the sea bed, a resonant exact is seen
to occur. Also, this resonant exact is more pronounced as the
length of the barrier increases.
2 Formulation of the boundary value
problem
We consider two dimensional motion due to rolling
oscillation of a thin rigid plate described by 0,x y L= ∈ ,
present in water region with a small bottom undulation
described by ( )y h c xε= + . Here h is the mean depth of
water, ε is a small non dimensional parameter, ( )c x is a
function of compact support describing the shape of the
bottom.
Here we choose rectangular cartesian coordinate system in
which y axis is directed vertically downwards and x axis is
along the mean free surface. The plate is hinged at a point
(0, )s , s L∈ and is forced to perform simple harmonic
oscillation about its mean vertical position with amplitude
θ = i0Re{ e }σtθ − , σ being the frequency of oscillation and
0θ is small. We have considered the problem for two
configurations of the barrier, namely, (i) partially immersed
barrier for which [0, ]L a= and (ii) completely submerged
plate for which [ , ]L a b= . Assuming the motion to be
irrotational, it can be described by the velocity potential
Re { }i( , )e tx y σφ − , where φ satisfies the following
boundary value problem.

It may be noted here that BVPI corresponds to the known
problem of generation of waves due to rolling oscillation of
a vertical plate present in water of uniform finite depth h.
For the problem involving a partially immersed barrier,
L=[0, ]a and the solution of BVPI is given in Banerjea,
Dolai and Mandal (1996). For the problem involving a
completely submerged barrier, L=[ , ]a b and the solution is
given in Banerjea, Dolai and Mandal (1997). For
completeness we derive the expression for 0B for the two
problems in Appendix.
Now we will proceed to obtain A1, B1 from BVPII for (i)
L=[0, ]a , (ii) L=[ , ]a b .
Let us denote Re i( , )e }tx yψ − σ{ to be the velocity potential
corresponding to the problem of scattering of an incoming

Now we proceed to evaluate A1, B1 when the barrier is
partially immersed and completely submerged.
Case I: Partially Immersed Barrier, L=[0, ]a
To obtain A1 and B1, in this case we apply Green’s integral
theorem to the functions 1( , )x yφ and ( , )x yψ in the

For partially immersed barrier i.e. for L= [0, ]a , the
expression for 0B and nQ are substituted from (A20) to
(A22) into (28) to get B1. Similarly for completely
submerged barrier i.e. for [ , ]a b the expression for 0B and
nQ are substituted from (A33) to (A35) into (28) to get B1.
In the next section we evaluate 1| |B numerically and
discuss the numerical results.
4 Numerical result
For numerical evaluation of first order correction to wave
amplitude 1| |B we need to know the value of 0| |B and
the constants | |nQ in the expression for 0 ( , )x yφ given by
Eq.(24). A multiterm Galerkin approximation is used to
evaluate these quantities when the barrier is (i) partially
immersed and (ii) submerged in water of uniform finite
depth. In our numerical computation we have chosen the
value of hλ to be unity and 0 0.1c
h
= .
In Fig.1, the graph of 0| |B , the wave amplitude at infinity
due to rolling oscillation of a partially immersed plate in
water of finite depth h (in nondimensional form) is drawn
for various values of the wave number Ka, for a
h
=0.04, 0.1
and s
a
=0.1. Here the results for 0| |B is compared with the
value of | |B∞ , where B∞ is the wave amplitude due to

rolling oscillation of a barrier partially immersed in deep
water (Ursell, 1948). It is observed that the curve of 0| |B
matches almost exactly with that of the curve for | |B∞
when a
h
=0.04, 0.1. Thus it is observed that the far field
amplitude when the depth of water is constant for both the
configurations of the barrier is consistent with the results
when the depth of water is large.
