This followsfrom the original dynamical equations (10.1.8) and (10.1.9). In fact,when u and c are assumed to be functions of x alone these equations reduce todudc+2c2u~+axcuaxdudcfor the case inwhich h==axand0,=axconst, (and soHx=+0).These equations are=22c 2const, and uc 2const,immediately integrable to yield uand these two relations are simultaneously satisfied only for constantvalues of u and c.
On the other hand, any constant values whatevercould be taken for u andc.Thecaseswediscuss in this section aremotions which result by piecing together two such steady motions(each with a different constant value for the depth and velocity)through a shock which moves with constant velocity. In this case themotion as a whole would be steady if observed from a coordinatesystem attached to the moving shock front. In view of our above discussion it is clear that such a motion with a single shock discontinuityis the most general progressing wave which propagates unchanged inform that could be obtained from our theory.*Let us consider now the problem referred to at the beginning of thepreceding section: a vertical plate or piston, as we have called it at* This result should not be taken to mean that the so-called "solitary wave'*does not exist. (By a solitary wave is meant a continuous wave in the form of asingle elevation which propagates unaltered in form.) It means only that ourapproximate theory is not accurate enough to furnish such a solitary wave.
Thisis a point which will be discussed more fully in section 10.9.WATER WAVES328the left end of a tank full of water at rest is suddenly pushed into thewater at constant velocity w. As we could infer from the discussionat the beginning of the preceding section the motion must be dis-continuous from the very beginning or, as we could also put it, the"first" point on the envelope of the characteristics would occur att0. Since the piston moves with constant velocity we might expectthe resulting motion to be a shock wave advancing into the still waterand leaving a constant state behind such that the water particles move=with the piston velocity w.
The circumstances for such an assumedmotion are indicated in Fig. 10.7.1, which shows the x, J-plane togetherwith the water surface at a certain time tQ We know that the constantstates on each side of the shock satisfy our differential equations. Inaddition, we show that they can always be "connected" through ashock discontinuity which satisfies the shock relations derived in thepreceding section. In fact, the relations (10.6.18) and (10.6.19) yield.through elimination of^==p/^ the relation_fl w _f)(10.7.1)w andthe depth h Q in the still water, when we setQh Equation (10.7.1) is the same as (10.6.21) except that ggoreplaces g lf and the discussion of its roots | follows exactly the samefor | in terms of=.lines as for (10.6.21): foreach A>and anyw ^the cubic equa-tion (10.7.1) has three roots for f one negative, another positive, anda third which has a value between these two.

However, it has been shown by Goldner [G.6] that our solution wouldbe unique under rather general assumptions regarding the type of functionsadmitted as possible solutions.LONG WAVES IN SHALLOW WATER829wtFig.

On the other handof the water particles behind thewe know that the velocity w.,shock relative to the shock is less than the wave speed c = VgA x inthe water on that side. It follows, therefore, that a new disturbancecreated in the water behind the shock should catch up with it sincethe front of such a disturbance would always move relative to thewater particles with a velocity at least equal to c r For example, if thepiston were to be decelerated at a certain moment a continuous depression wave would be created at the piston which would finallycatch up with the shock front, and a complicated interaction processwould then occur.The case we have treated above corresponds to the propagation ofa bore into still water.
If we were to superimpose a constant velocity| on the water in the motion illustrated by Fig. 10.7.1 the resultwould be the motion called a hydraulic jump in which the shock frontis stationary. We need not consider this case further.We treat next the problem of the reflection of a shock wave froma rigid vertical wall by following essentially the same procedure asabove. The circumstances are shown in Fig. 10.7.2. We have anincoming shock moving toward the rigid wall from the left into stillwater of depth h Q The shock is reflected from the wall leaving stillwater of depth h 2 behind it. Since the water in contact with the wallshould be at rest, such an assumed motion is at least a plausible one.We proceed to show that the motion is compatible with our shockconditions and we calculate the height h 2 of the reflected wave...We assume that h^ and u v = 10, the depth and the velocity of thewater behind the shock, are known.
The shock speed f + is then determined by taking the largest of the three roots of the cubic equation(10.6.21), which we write down again in the formOnce |+ has been determined, the depth h in front of the shock isfixed from the first shock condition, which is in the present caseLONG WAVES IN SHALLOW WATER(10.7.4)(To determineW - S+fa= - |A-we may once morethe reflected shockIL4III26evidentlymakeIrOl3811.4I8I10I12II141618(a)ho100806040201I8I10I12II14I16(b)Fig. l().7.3a, b.
