Abstract

Steady plane periodic waves on the surface of an ideal liquid above a horizontal bottom are considered. The flow is irrotational. Let Q denote the volume flow rate, R the total head and S the flow force for the wave train. Bounds on wave properties are obtained in terms of the properties of (i) the conjugate streams with the same Q and R, and (ii) the conjugate streams with the same Q and S.
