Abstract
The motion is defined with respect to the three axes in a Cartesian coordinates system. OX, OY, and OZ are the mutually perpendicular axes. The OZ axis is taken to be vertical and positive upwards. Any point is defined by the coordinates x, y, and z. The depth is defined by z = −d, and is assumed to be constant (see Fig. 16-1). Viscosity forces are neglected. The motion is assumed to be irrotational and the fluid is incompressible.
