Abstract
The exact theory of the diffraction of water gravity waves by a semi-infinite (one arm) breakwater in water of constant depth is put in a more useful form for the case of waves incident at any angle between 0° and 180°. Graphs and tables for use by the practicing engineer are presented. These graphs and tables can also be used as an approximate solution for the case of a detached breakwater.
