The oblique wave reflection by horizontally stratified porous absorber having two horizontal porous bars of different porosities and friction factors placed on step-type bottom is studied using eigenfunction expansion method based on linearised wave theory. The present study examines several structural configurations such as porous absorber consisting of finite and semi-infinite thickness with/without seaward vertical barrier. The present study derived the direct analytical relations to determine wave reflection by each of the structural configuration for plane-wave assumption using potential flow theory. Initially, the porous absorber considering uniform porosity and friction factor is examined and validated with available numerical results, and the direct analytical relations are also validated with available relations of possible structural configurations. In addition, the present study reported wave reflection performance of submerged single-layer and double-layer porous absorbers with/without seaward vertical barrier. The effect of bottom rigid bar, surface porous bar, middle porous bar depth, multiple porosities, friction factors, incident wave angle and porous effect parameter on wave reflection coefficient is presented in detail for various structural configurations. The significance of seaward vertical barrier on wave reflection and wave trapping is reported. The point of wave trapping, critical angle of impinging, resonating peaks and troughs due to various structural configurations are presented against structural thickness.
