Abstract

The interaction of small amplitude water waves with a patch of bottom ripples is studied using the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). Normal and oblique wave incidence is examined for reflection coefficients and the laboratory data of Davies and Heathershaw are compared to the numerical results, with the conclusion that the analytical model of Davies and Heathershaw overestimates the reflection coefficient at resonance. Comparison of BIEM results for oblique incidence is made with an extension of the recent work of Mei showing good agreement, even for large amplitude ripples.
