Abstract

Symmetric suction flows are computed. The flows are free-surface flows with two stagnation points. The configuration is related to the modelling of wave breaking at the bow of a ship. It is shown that there is a countably infinite number of solutions and that the free-surface profiles are characterized by waves.
