Abstract

A method of solution is given to the problem of internal wave motion in a non-homogeneous viscous fluid of variable depth. The approach is based on the inviscid theory of Keller and Mow(l) and on boundary-layer analysis. For internal progressive waves in uniform depths, it reduces essentially to the theory given by Dore(2). The present results are also applicable to surface waves when the fluid is homogeneous.
