Abstract
The dynamics of long water waves are considered in a curved geometry representing a canal bend. The presence of the bend is found to produce a spectrum of transverse oscillations in the canal. The associated dominant amplitudes are evaluated for both tidal periods and higher frequencies representative of tsunamis. It is found that low-frequency waves do not lead to significant transverse amplitudes. For tsunamis, the presence of the bend may result in considerable changes in the local wave amplitude.
