Abstract

In this paper we look at the problem of an undular bore entering still water. The effect of the boundary-layer at the channel bottom is considered. The motion is assumed to be laminar and inviscid, apart from the thin boundary layer, where the normal boundary-layer approximations are used to find the velocity components. The effect on the main flow then appears in the equations of motion as a shear stress.
