Abstract

It is shown how the solution for the velocity potential may be determined when the effect of surface tension is included in the linearized theory of surface waves over a sloping beach. In particular, two independent standing wave solutions are found, both of which have finite amplitude at the shoreline. The results agree with those of previous writers when the surface tension force tends to zero.
