Abstract

In this paper it is shown that a class of linearized interface-wave problems for two superposed inviscid liquids of unequal densities occupying regions which are symmetric about the interface can be reduced to a surface-wave problem in the lower region together with a classical hydrodynamical problem for potential flow in the lower region under a plane lid. The effect of interfacial tension is included. Examples of fundamental singularities in two semi-infinite liquids are given.
