Abstract

In the linear approximation, we study the one-dimensional problem of reflectionless wave propagation on the surface of a shallow duct with spatially varying water depth, duct width and current. We show that both global and bounded exact solutions describing the reflectionless propagation in opposite directions of long waves of arbitrary shape exist for the particular variations of these parameters. A general analysis of the problem is illustrated by a few solutions constructed for the specific cases of spatial profiles of the flow and wave propagation velocities. The results obtained can be of interest to mitigate the possible impact of waves on ships, marine engineering constructions and human activity in coastal zones.
