Abstract

I propose in this preliminary communication to lay before the Society some results of investigations in the theory of Seiches in a lake whose line of maximum depth is approximately straight, and whose depth, cross section, and surface breadth do not vary rapidly from point to point.

As the seiche disturbance is small compared with the length of the lake, I shall make the assumptions usual in the theory of long waves:—viz., that the squares of the displacements and of their derivatives are negligible.
