The cylindrical wave‐maker problem in water of uniform finite depth in the presence of surface tension

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology

This note is concerned with the problem of forced motion due to a vertical circular cylindrical wave-maker immersed in a liquid with an inertial surface composed of uniformly distributed floating particles. The techniques of Laplace transform in time and Weber transform in the radial co-ordinate are used to obtain the velocity potential and hence the inertial surface depression. For the special case of a time-harmonic wave-maker, the potential function is analysed for its steady-state development. It is shown that if the inertial surface is "too heavy", the disturbance due to the wave-maker remains confined within a short distance only. © 1989.
