Abstract

In this Note the method developed by Aider and Debiane (2004) for the calculation of nonsymmetric water waves on infinite depth is extended to finite depth. The water-wave problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations which is solved by using Newton's method. Solutions are computed up to their limiting forms by decrementing the depth from the infinity to a value of the depth-wavelength ratio h / λ less than 0.025. It is found that the waves become symmetric when the depth becomes very small. Relations giving some integral properties are derived. To cite this article: R. Aider, M. Debiane, C. R.
