Abstract

Using a technique developed by Lighthill, surface waves are studied when a concentrated pressure point oscillating with a constant frequency moves along OX in a rotating frame O X Y Z on the free surface of rotating liquid bounded below by a horizontal plane. The effect of rotation is to split the coincident gravity modes of the non-rotating case and further to produce a new system of wavelets (countably infinite) which do not have any counterpart in the non-rotating case.
