The breakwater is assumed to be rigid, thin, vertical, immovable and located in water of constant depth. The fluid domain is divided into two regions by imaginary interface. The velocity potential in each region is expanded by eigenfunctions. By satisfying the continuity of pressure and normal velocity across the imaginary fluid interface, a set of linear algebraic equations can be obtained to determine the unknown coefficients of eigenfunctions. Numerical results, in the form of contour maps of the relative wave amplitude around the breakwater, are presented for a range of wave and breakwater parameters. Results show that the wave diffraction on the arc-shaped and bottom-mounted perforated breakwater is related to the incident wavelength and the porosity of the breakwater. The porosity of the perforated breakwater may have great effect on the diffracted field.展开更多

Because of its nonlinearity, in practice, linearization algorisms （Born/ single scattering approximation） are widely used to obtain an approximate inversion solution. However, the linearized strategy is not congruent with seismic wave propagation mechanics in strong perturbation （heterogeneous） medium. In order to partially dispense with the weak perturbation assumption of the Born approximation, we present a new approach from the following two steps： firstly, to handle the forward scattering by taking into account the second- order Born approximation, which is related to generalized Radon transform （GRT） about quadratic scattering poten- tial; then to derive a nonlinear quadratic inversion formula by resorting to inverse GRT. In our formulation, there is a significant quadratic term regarding scattering potential, and it can provide an amplitude correction for inversion results beyond standard linear inversion. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the linear single scattering inversion is only good in amplitude for relative velocity perturbation （3c/c0） of background media up to 10 %, andits inversion errors are unacceptable for the perturbation beyond 10 %. In contrast, the quadratic inversion can give more accurate amplitude-preserved recovery for the per- turbation up to 40 %. Our inversion scheme is able to manage double scattering effects by estimating a trans- mission factor from an integral over a small area, and therefore, only a small portion of computational time is added to the original linear migration/inversion process.展开更多

It is proved in a general sense that the potentials should be composed of a forced wave component,a free wave component and a local disturbance component.The radiation condition of the forced wave component should correspond to the far-field asymptotic behaviour of the pressure distribution,Hence,the formulation of radiation conditions for the second-order diffraction potentials has theoretically become clear,The radiation conditions for two-and three-dimensional problems are explicitly given in the paper.展开更多
