Abstract

A line source whose strength varies sinusoidally with time and also with the co-ordinate measured along its length is situated parallel to the shoreline of a beach of angle ¼π0. Both long-and short-wave solutions are found. It is shown that for certain positions of the source, long waves are not radiated to infinity, while in the short-wave regime, the solutions take the form of edge-waves, with resonances occurring at certain wavenumbers. Computations of the free-surface contours are presented for a range of wavenumbers.
