Abstract: | In the linear formulation, an investigation is made into the development of undamped (in time) plane waves generated by a. harmonically varying pressure applied to the free surface of an initially undisturbed flow of a continuously stratified fluid of finite depth. The cases of a homogeneous fluid and two-layer fluid are considered in [1–3]. Nonstationary waves in a continuously stratified flow generated by a time-independent pressure were investigated in [4].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 99–104, July–August, 1980. |
