The reflection-transmission properties of water waves obliquely incident upon a vortex sheet in water of finite depth are studied. The problem is reduced to that of solving two integral equation. An accurate Galerkin solution is obtained which supports the use of the “variational method” in water wave problems that has recently been questioned by Kirby and Dalyrmple.
