Use of the corrected plane wave model for the determination of the reflection coefficient during horizontal plate swell interaction

Abstract

The main objective of this work, is to calculate variations of the reflection coefficient of the regular wave by a submerged horizontal plate, using the corrected plane wave model, by choosing appropriately the immersion and the relative length of the plate. It is shown that with this correction the reflection coefficient has a good agreement with the experimental results (Brossard et al., Liu C.R).
