Abstract

Free surface flows generated by a moving distribution of pressure are considered. The fluid consists of two superposed layers in a two-dimensional channel. The upper layer is inviscid and the lower layer, which is introduced as a damping mechanism, is modelled by the mathematically convenient lubrication equations. Numerical and analytical solutions are presented. Special attention is given to solutions for which there is a train of waves on each side of the distribution of pressure. It is shown that, depending on the values of the parameters, the short waves can appear on either side of the distribution of pressure.
