Extract

The effect of non-linearity on standing edge waves is studied on the basis of shallow water theory. Four problems are considered: the decay of free edge waves and the forcing of edge waves by an incident wave of double the frequency, a synchronous incident wave and by a side-wall wavemaker. Hysteresis effects are predicted for all types of forcing.
