Abstract

The period $T$ of the Helmholtz mode in a circular well that is bounded above by a free surface and below by a semi-infinite reservoir is determined in terms of elliptic integrals. It is shown that $T$ decreases monotonically with increasing amplitude $A$ and is within 1% (10%) of the linear limit $T_0$ for $A{/}h_0\,{<}\,0.4(1.0)$, where $h_0$ is the ambient depth.
