| Abstract: | A study is made of the propagation of surface waves in a basin with a vertical step in the bottom. The problem is solved by fitting solutions on the horizontal boundary that continues the bottom of the shallow-water region of the basin; the factorization method is used. It is shown that the reflection of the waves depends on the wavelength of the incident waves and the difference between the two depths in the basin.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 181–185, January–February, 1984. |
