Asymptotic analysis of capillary-gravity waves generated by a moving disturbance

摘要

Capillary-gravity waves generated by a steadily translating disturbance are studied via a direct analysis based on the geometrical relationship between dispersion curves on the Fourier plane and the corresponding wave pattern on the free surface, through which wave crestlines, wavelength, cusp angles and phase & group velocities are explicitly obtained.
