Abstract

An account is given of the seiche motion in a curved lake. It is shown that the periods of the first two modes of oscillation are effectively unchanged in comparison with those for a straight lake having a length equal to that of the median line along the curved lake. Near to the nodal positions, the surface elevation is uniform across the lake. In the neighbourhood of the anti-nodes, which includes the ends of the lake, the wave amplitude is shown to be a maximum at the outside of the bend.
