Problems dealing with the generation of surface waves in water involve the consideration of singularities of different types in the liquid. In the case when bodies are present in the liquid, waves may be either generated by the movement of the body, or reflected from the body. The two cases are essentially equivalent, and the resulting motion can be described by a series of singularities placed within the body. The boundary conditions on the surface of the body give equations from which the exact form of the potential can be obtained. Ursell (10) has solved in this manner the problem, earlier discussed by Dean(1), of the generation of surface waves by a submerged circular cylinder. In this two-dimensional problem he used a series of complex potential functions arising from multipoles at the centre of the cylinder, but the velocity potential of the motion could have been described, without the introduction of the stream function, in terms of the velocity potentials of the multipoles.

Uniqueness and solvability theorems are proved for the two-dimensional Neumann–Kelvin problem in the case when a body is totally submerged in a subcritical stream of finite depth fluid. A version of source method is developed to find a solution. The Green's identity coupling the solution with a solution of the problem with opposite stream direction is used to prove that the solution is unique.

Numerical investigation of efficiency of UNO- and TVD-modifications of the Godunov method of the second order accuracy for computation of linear waves in an elastic body in comparison with the classical Godunov method is carried out. To this end, one-dimensional cylindrical Riemann problems are considered. It is shown that the both modifications are considerably more accurate in describing radially converging as well as diverging longitudinal and shear waves and contact discontinuities both in one- and two-dimensional problem statements. At that the UNO-modification is more preferable than the TVD-modification because exact implementation of the TVD property in the TVD-modification is reached at the expense of “cutting” solution extrema.

This article considers certain two-dimensional, irrotational, steady flows in fluid regions of finite depth and infinite horizontal extent. Geometrical information about these flows and their singularities is obtained, using a variant of a classical comparison principle. The results are applied to three types of problems: (i) supercritical solitary waves carrying planing surfaces or surfboards, (ii) supercritical flows past ship hulls and (iii) supercritical interfacial solitary waves in systems consisting of two immiscible fluids.

Measurements have been made in the flow over an axisymmetric cylinder-flare body, in which the boundary layer developed in axial flow over a circular cylinder before diverging over a conical flare. The lateral divergence, and the concave curvature in the transition section between the cylinder and the flare, both tend to destabilize the turbulence. Well downstream of the transition section, the changes in turbulence structure are still significant and can be attributed to lateral divergence alone. The results confirm that lateral divergence alters the structural parameters in much the same way as longitudinal curvature, and can be allowed for by similar empirical formulae. The interaction between curvature and divergence effects in the transition section leads to qualitative differences between the behaviour of the present flow, in which the turbulence intensity is increased everywhere, and the results of Smits, Young & Bradshaw (1979) for a two-dimensional flow with the same curvature but no divergence, in which an unexpected collapse of the turbulence occurred downstream of the curved region.
