Abstract

The process of generation of two-dimensional (2D) wave motions during small elliptical displacements of the bottom which occur for a finite time interval is considered within the framework of the linear theory of long waves in a basin of constant depth. The spatial structure and the amplitudinal and energy characteristics of the emerging directional surface wave are analysed for bottom deformations of a special form.
