The impact of initial flow velocity and fluid flow direction on the dispersion of quasi-Scholte waves propagating in an orthotropic plate in contact with the fluid

Key Points

• This research aims to understand how initial flow velocity and fluid direction affect quasi-Scholte wave dispersion in orthotropic plates.
• Utilized exact elastodynamic equations for modeling the plate's motion.
• Described fluid behavior using linearized Euler equations.
• Initial flow velocity significantly alters the dispersion characteristics of quasi-Scholte waves.
• Fluid flow direction has a measurable impact on wave propagation through the orthotropic plate.
