(promotor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1981-05-19 Abstract A mathematical model for the combined refraction-diffraction of linear periodic gravity waves on water is developed, in which the influence of inhomogeneities of depth and current is taken into account. The model is used to compute partial reflection of waves a gully or an undersea slope, with influence of a current. The model is also applied to prismatic wave channels with reflecting side-walls. For a gully bounded by shallows the model predicts the decay of wave height due to radiation of energy in lateral direction. For practical application in regions with arbitrary bottom and current topography a parabolic approximation of the model is derived. This is used as a basis for numerical calculation of waves in a sea region near the coast.
