| Abstract: | A theoretical investigation is made of the development of linear two-dimensional waves in a continuously stratified flow of an ideal incompressible fluid. The waves are generated by pressures that are independent of time and that are applied at time t=0 to a bounded region on the free surface of an initially undisturbed flow. The stationary internal waves generated by such a disturbance have been investigated in 1–3]. The nonstationary waves in a continuously stratified fluid that are generated by initial disturbances or periodic surface pressures applied to the entire free surface have been studied in 4–7] in the absence of a slow.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 87–93, November–December, 1976. |
