Water wave diffraction by an array of bottom-mounted circular cylinders is analysed under the assumptions of linear theory. The cylinders are identical, and equally spaced along the array. When the number of cylinders is large, but finite, near-resonant modes occur between adjacent cylinders at critical wavenumbers, and cause unusually large loads on each element of the array. These modes are associated with the existence of homogeneous solutions for the diffraction by an array which extends to infinity in both directions. This phenomenon is related to the existence of trapped waves in a channel. A second trapped wave is established, corresponding to Dirichlet boundary conditions on the channel walls, as well as a sequence of higher wavenumbers where ‘nearly trapped’ modes exist.
