Forced Waves on Shallow Water / Yakimov Yu.L., Yakimov A.Yu. // Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta. Seriya 1. Matematika. Mekhanika. 2010. ? 4. P. 54-58 [Moscow Univ. Mech. Bulletin. Vol. 65, No 4, 2010. P. 81-84].

Plane surface waves induced by a uniformly moving region of abnormal pressure are studied in a nonlinear formulation. The narrow strip method can be used to analyze the forced wave motion. An inverse problem is solved when the surface is given in the form of a model solution in the pressure region. The motion of a half-submerged wing of a given displacement and the motion of an abnormal pressure region with a given external force are described in analytic form.

Key words: wave, abnormal pressure, wing, limiting condition, potential flow, conformal mapping.
