Abstract
  • The classical two-dimensional wavemaker problem is formulated for linear waves. Two conformal mappings are applied to the mathematical formulation to transform the wavemaker problem into a unit disk. It is then shown that this technique cannot produce in practice a numerical representation of the fluid motion throughout time for any position in the wavemaker channel. An analytic solution to the classical wavemaker problem is developed and then solved numerically. This solution contibutes information about the fluid motion for all time and for any position in the wavemaker channel. In addition to this problem, a related initial value problem is solved theoretically and then numerically. This results in the surface wave and fluid motion being described for all time and all positions in a two dimensional, semi-infinite channel.
