Abstract
Diffraction of water waves by a floating structure near a wall with step type bottom topography is investigated under the two-dimensional small amplitude wave theory. Full solution of the problem under the potential flow approach is obtained by using the matched eigenfunction expansion method. The wave-induced forces on the structure and on the wall are studied for different water depth ratios, dimension of the structure and the distance of the wall from the structure.
