Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study the solutions of a model equation for steady surface waves on an ideal fluid over a semicircular or semielliptical bump. For upstream Froude number F>1, we show that the numerical solution of the equation has two branches and there is a cut-off value of F below which no solution exists. For F<1, the problem is reformulated to overcome the so-called infinite-mass dilemma. A branch of solutions and a cut-off value of F, above which no solution exists, are found. Furthermore, we also obtain a branch of hydraulic-fall solutions which decrease monotonically from upstream to downstream.
