Overview

Excerpt from Waves in the Presence of an Inclined Barrier The method permits us to find the most general solution with singularities of a prescribed nature. Thus we shall consider solutions that in addition to having infinite velocity at the edge of the barrier, have singularities of the source or sink type at the points Where the free surface reaches the barrier. Following the example of J. J. Stoker [2] the occur rence of such singularities may be thought to corres pond to the breaking of waves at the barrier with corresponding loss of energy to the liquid. Such breaking is likely to occur, where the barrier forms a small angle with the surface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
