Abstract

A boundary integral technique has been developed for the two-dimensional, free surface fluid flow in an arbitrary shaped channel. For steady, ideal, irrotational fluid flow a system of boundary integral equations are derived which are based on the Riemann-Hilbert technique for mixed boundary value problems of an analytical function. The boundary integral equations are solved for the fluid speed on both the solid boundary and the free surface, the shape of the free surface and for the critical Froude number for which waves first occur.
