Abstract: | The problem of water waves generated in a horizontally oscillating basin is considered, with specific emphasis on the transient
evolution of the wave amplitude. A third-order amplitude evolution equation is solved analytically in terms of Jacobian elliptic
functions. The solution explicitly determines the maximum amplitude and nonlinear beating period of the resonated wave. An
observed bifurcation in the amplitude response is shown to correspond to the elliptic modulus approaching unity and the beating
period of the interaction approaching infinity. The theoretical predictions compare favorably to fully nonlinear simulations
of the sloshing process. Due to the omission of damping, the consideration of only a single mode, and the weakly nonlinear
framework, the analytical solution applies only to finite-depth, non-breaking waves. The inviscid numerical simulations are
similarly limited to finite depth. |
