Abstract
It is shown experimentally that upon a rapid draining of water within a basin, the Froude number quickly reaches its maximum and then remains virtually constant. Stationary long three-dimensional waves that arise on the water’s surface form bottom ridges, the distance between which is equal to the length of the waves. It is established that ridges on the shores of the northern part of the Caspian Sea (Baer’s Mounds) could have been formed by three-dimensional waves upon a sudden drop in the level of the Caspian Sea.
