Abstract
The exact solution of the equations of an ideal incompressible fluid describing the unsteady rotational motion of a plane layer with free boundaries is obtained. For constant vorticity the stability problem is studied in the linear approximation. The asymptotic behavior of the free boundaries of the layer as t → ∞ is calculated. It is shown that the vorticity of the basic motion stabilizes the boundaries of the layer.
