dc.description.abstract | The free surface flow past a semi-infinite horizontal plate in
a finite-depth fluid is considered. It is assumed that the fluid is
incompressible and inviscid and that the flow approaches a uniform shear
flow downstream. Exact relations are derived using conservation of mass
and momentum for the case where the downstream free surface is flat. The
complete nonlinear problem is solved numerically using a boundary integral
method and these waveless solutions are shown to exist only when the
height of the plate above the bottom is greater than the height of the
uniform shear flow. Interesting results are found for various values of
the constant vorticity. Solutions with downstream surface waves are also
considered, and nonlinear results of this type are compared with linear
results found previously. These solutions can be used to model the flow
near the stern of a (two-dimensional) ship. | |
