Abstract: The oblique wave scattering by fully-extended two-layered, three-layered and submerged two-layered porous structures occupying finite width is reported using an analytical model based on the eigenfunction expansion method. The fully extended two-layered structure is composed of two porosities and friction factors in the surface porous layer and the bottom porous layer. In addition, the three-layered energy-absorbing structure is composed of two-porous layers along with the bottom rigid layer to replace the natural seabed variation. Further, the study is extended for multiple energy-absorbing structures to report the impact of free spacing available between the two subsequent structures on fluid resonance. The two-layered porous structure dispersion relation is derived and solved using step approach and Newton-Raphson method. The derived analytical results are validated with the published results of notable authors. The effect of the surface and bottom layers porosity, friction factor, free spacing, structural width, number of structures, and angle of contact on the wave scattering is reported. Finally, the comparative study between the single and multiple energy absorbing structures of multiple horizontal layers is discussed. Further, the significance of the critical angle of contact and fluid resonance for better wave blocking is presented precisely, which is essential for the coastal engineers to design offshore structures. © 2020 Japan Society of Civil Engineers.
