Abstract

The transformation of long surface waves in a zone of variable depth is investigated within the framework of shallow-water theory. In the particular case of a bottom profile containing a so-called “nonreflecting” relief segment adjacent to an even bottom, expressions for the reflected and transmitted pulse waves are obtained in explicit form. It is shown that waves are reflected from such a profile. The role of distributed and concentrated reflection of a wave propagating above an uneven bottom is discussed.
