Abstract

The solutions are derived for the shallow water standing waves of small amplitude that can form in channels or lakes of varying breadth with a concave parabolic bottom. In addition explicit solutions are given for standing waves in a ring-type lake with a parabolic bottom and a central circular island that has vertical walls.
