Hence y vanishes identically.
From (3.1.14)it therefore follows that any solutions (p(x, y) of our boundaryvalue problem are also solutions of the differential equation(3.1.15)nup<pvThe most general=oo0,< y < 0.solution of this differential equation(3.1.16)<p=c(x)eisgiven bymvwith c(x) an arbitrary function of x alone.

Since tanh mh-+Ias h -> oo it is clear that the relation (3.1.19) yields (3.1.11) as limitrelation for water of infinite depth. The uniqueness of the solutions(3.1.18) for the two-dimensional case under the condition of boun-dedness at oo was* It canfirstproved by A.

The motion also naturallyh.becomes purely horizontal on approaching the bottom yThese consequences of the theory are verified in practice, as indicated=taken from a paper by Ruellan ami Wallet (cf. [R.12]).The photograph at the bottom makes the particle trajectories visible ina standing wave; this is the final specimen in a series of photographs ofparticle trajectories for a range of cases beginning with a pure progressing wave (ef. see. 3.2), and continuing with superpositions of progressing waves traveling in opposite directions and having the samewave length but not the same amplitudes, finally ending with ain Fig. 3.1.1,standingwave when the wave amplitudesof the two trains are equal.We proceed next to study the special class of three-dimensionalstanding waves that are simple harmonic in the time, arid whichdepend only on the distance r from the t/-axis.
In other words, weseek standing waves having cylindrical symmetry. Again we seeksolutions of (3.1.6) which satisfy (3.1.7). Only the case of water ofinfinitedepthwillbe treated here, and hence(3.1.8) is replacedby42WATER WAVESFig. 3.1.1. Particle trajectories in progressingand standing wavesthe condition that the solutions be bounded at oo in the negative//-direction as well as in the x- and ^-directions.
It is once more ofinterest to derive all possible standing wave solutions which areeverywhere regular and bounded at oo because of the fact that thesolutions in the present case behave quite differently from thoseobtained above for motions that are independent of the ^-coordinate.SIMPLE HARMONIC OSCILLATIONS43In particular, we shall see that all bounded standing waves withcylindrical symmetry die out at oo like the inverse square root ofthe distance, while in two dimensions we have seen that the assumption that the wave amplitude dies out at oo leads to waves of zeroamplitude everywhere.make useof cylindrical coordinates in derivingour uniqueness theorem.

In the present caseof circular waves we have found bounded waves with only one phaseat oo. However,*Whatifwe wereto permit a logarithmic singularity at theis needed is evidently a generalization of Liouville's theorem to theequation (3.1.23) which has a variable coefficient. The theorem of Bernstein referred to is much more general than is required for this special purpose,but it is also not entirely easy to prove (cf. E.

Thus waves having an arbitrary phase at oo canbe constructed, but not without allowing a singularity. It has, howevernot been shown that (3.1.31) and (3.1.33) yield all solutions with thisproperty.3.2.Simple harmonic progressing wavesSince our boundary problem is linear and homogeneous we canreintroduce the time factors cos at and sin at and take appropriatelinear combinations of the standing waves (3.1.5) to obtain simpleharmonic progressing wave solutionsthe form= A cosh m(y + h) cos(3.2.1)withmwater of uniform depth ofin(mxat+ a)and a satisfyinga2(3.2.2)=gm tanh mh,as before.The wave,or phase speed cc(3.2.3)or, inc=Xisbya/m,2n/m bytanh *!*.'==terms of the wave length A(3.2.3),Itof course givenis9%7l/useful to write the relation (3.2.2) in terms of the2n/m and then expand the function tanh mh in ato obtainwave lengthpower seriesWATER WAVES46Wesee therefore that2a 2 ->(3.2.5)(y)^=m*& h as\-**and hence thatVghc^=L(3.2.6)ifA/Aissmall.This last relation embodies the important fact that the wave speedbecomes independent of the wave length when the depth is small comparedwith the wave length, but varies as the square root of the depth.
