Abstract

A disk moves edgewise in a vertical plane with a sufficiently small constant velocity in a uniformly stratified inviscid fluid under gravity. The resultant hydrodynamic thrust on the disk is estimated. Configurations of some associated phase surfaces are shown. A transient Green's function is presented for the case when the Boussinesq approximation is not made, and also for an analogous case of inertial waves in a rotating fluid.
