Extract

The Integral Equation. Consider a periodic wave moving with constant velocity c from right to left on the surface of an inviscid, incompressible fluid which is at rest at infinity. The motion is assumed to be irrotational and two-dimensional. The bottom is horizontal, and the depth of the undisturbed fluid is h.
