Abstract
Free-surface flow can be modelled by the Laplace equation for the velocity potential and a nonlinear first-order partial differential equation for the free surface. The potential problem is reformulated as a variational problem and then solved approximately by a Rayleigh-Ritz expansion. The free-surface equation is solved using finite differences. The procedure is applied to a particular problem, and excellent results are obtained.
