摘要
Rayleigh expansion is used to study the water-wave interaction with a row of pile breakwater in finite water depth. Evanescent waves, the wave energy dissipated on the fluid resistance and the thickness of the breakwater are totally included in the model. The formulae of wave reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained. The accuracy of the present model is verified by a comparison with existing results. It is found that the predicted wave reflection and transmission coefficients for the zero order are all highly consistent with the experimental data （Hagiwara, 1984; Isaacson et al., 1998） and plane wave solutions （Zhu, 2011）. The losses of the wave energy for the fluid passing through slits play an important role, which removes the phenomena of enhanced wave transmission.
