“…The studies of scattering and radiation of waves by a two-dimensional floating structure, either analytically, numerically, or experimentally, have been carried out by Mei and Black (1969), Black et al (1971), Koutandos et al (2005), Dong et al (2008) Zheng et al (2004), and others. On the other hand, use of porous structures can enhance the energy dissipation to reduce the reflected/transmitted wave heights and at the same time decrease the wave forces on structures.…”
