Abstract
A porous-wavemaker theory is developed to analyse small-amplitude surface waves on water of finite depth, produced by horizontal oscillations of a porous vertical plate. Analytical solutions in closed forms are obtained for the surface-wave profile, the hydrodynamic-pressure distribution and the total force on the wavemaker. The influence of the wave-effect parameter C and the porous-effect parameter G, both being dimensionless, on the surface waves and on the hydrodynamic pressures is discussed in detail.Keywords
