Abstract

A solution of Nekrasov’s integral equation is obtained, and the range of its existence in the theory of steady nonlinear waves on the surface of a finite-depth fluid is determined. Relations are derived for calculating the wave profile and propagation velocity as functions of the ratio of the liquid depth to the wavelength. A comparison is made of the velocities obtained using the linear and nonlinear theories of wave propagation.
