Long Waves in Channels of Arbitrary Cross-Section
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1968
Abstract
This paper summarises some recent work on lone gravity waves on still water in channels of arbitrary constant cross-section. Theoretical results have been obtained for both straight and curved channels. Some experimental work has been performed in straight trapezoidal channels and shows reasonable agreement with theory. For straight channels some details of the second approximation are given, and the cases where the approximation breaks down are indicated. For curved channels it is found that the effect of channel curvature is more pronounced when the cross-sectional shape of the channel is not symmetric with respect to its centre-line.
