Abstract
This paper is concerned with a progressive wave of general form in an infinitely long estuary of uniform cross-section when there is a permanent current independent of the wave. The only approximation is the neglect of friction. Explicit formulae in the form of infinite series are found for the surface-elevation and for the current. In the special case in which there is no permanent current and when the oscillation at the mouth of the estuary reduces to a single harmonic constituent, the first five harmonic shallow water constituents at any place up the estuary are evaluated.Keywords
