After a brief discussion of some undesirable features of a number of different partial differential equations often employed in the existing literature on water waves, a relatively simple restricted theory is constructed by a direct approach which is particularly suited for applications to problems of fluid sheets. The rest of the paper is concerned with a derivation of a system of nonlinear differential equations (which may include the effects of gravity and surface tension) governing the two-dimensional motion of incompressible in-viscid fluids for propagation of fairly long waves in a nonhomogeneous stream of water of variable initial depth, as well as some new results pertaining to hydraulic jumps. The latter includes an additional class of possible solutions not noted previously.


Due to the methods of the dynamics of curvilinear motion the system of nonlinear differential equations describing two-dimensional arbitrary displacements of a heavy rope, one end of which is free, and the other is fastened is obtained. The problem is solved in the language of displacement vector ()()(),,,xyxtxtxtξξξ=+ij, where (),xxtξ and (),yxtξ accordingly, arbitrary offsets of the rope points in the axes of coordinates. It is shown that in the limit of small oscillations the obtained equations are reduced to the description of the weak offsets of the horizontal string fixed on both ends, and small displacements of the heavy vertical filament, fluctuating due to the force of gravity. The main goal of the paper is the mathematical description of the strong non-equilibrium dynamic systems.
