Abstract
A theory is provided for the natural seiching frequencies and radiative decay rates for a shallow-water basin whose connection to open water is restricted by a submerged wall or reef. The transition from an essentially-open basin to a closed basin, as the aperture reduces to zero, is discussed using a matching procedure. Graphs of frequencies and damping factors as functions of aperture size are obtained for idealized two-dimensional shelf configurations, involving a constant-depth shallow basin connected to constant-depth, but not necessarily shallow, open water.Keywords
