Abstract
Solutions of the Rayleigh-wave type on the boundary of an elastic half-space and a moving layer of ideal fluid are obtained. The limiting cases of zero flow velocity and a tangential velocity discontinuity in the fluid were investigated in [1–3]. In [4] the order of magnitude of the critical flow velocity was estimated. An increase in the velocity scales used in engineering and experimental practice (see [5], for instance) has aroused interest in a more thorough analysis of the effect.
