Multi-mode surface wave diffraction by a right-angled wedge
This paper extends the phenomenological theory of multi-mode surface wave diffraction to a right-angled wedge configuration. The solution to a two-mode problem is obtained under the edge condition d'u dx' = 0(r ), 0 < h < | as r —> 0. It is conjectured that the same procedure may be used to construct the solution to the corresponding iV-mode problem under the edge condition N E d'u dx' = o(r_I(2iV_1>/3+''1), 0 < h < f 7=0 as r —> 0.
