Abstract
The scattering of surface water-waves in a channel with corrugated bottom and walls is investigated. We study two cases: (1) ordinary wave reflection; (2) scattering into specific "mode" waves, i.e. into oscillations propagating along the channel's axis and having a standing-wave structure in its cross-section. An analytical expression for the damping-due-to-scattering coefficient is obtained. The second type of scattering proved to be more effective.
