Development of Forced Nonlinear Waves in a Bounded Basin

The process of development of nonlinear oscillations of the free surface of a fluid caused by the action of a periodic mass force in a bounded basin is numerically studied within the framework of the theory of long waves. The action of dissipative forces is taken into account. The effect of nonlinearity and geometric characteristics of the basin on the parameters of the generated wave field is analyzed. __________ Translated from Morskoi Gidrofizicheskii Zhurnal, No. 5, pp. 3–12, September–October, 2005.
