  • Boundary value problem for the rectangular wavemaker

    Creator:
    Averbeck, Patrick J.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this research is to develop an equation describing the two, dimensional motion of an inviscid incompressible fluid in the rectangular wavemaker of constant depth. The boundary value problem of the rectangle is transformed to the upper half plane with the use of Jacobian elliptical functions. The boundary...
