In this thesis we consider the free surface flow due to a submerged source in a channel of finite depth. This problem has been considered previously in the literature, with some disagreement about whether or not a train of waves exist on…
Fully localised solitary waves are travelling-wave solutions of the three-dimensional gravity-capillary water wave problem which decay to zero in every horizontal spatial direction. Their existence for water of finite depth has recently…
