Abstract
We studied the structure of the surface perturbations generated by a stratified flow of an ideal fluid of finite depth around underwater obstacles. We consider a cylinder modeled by a point dipole localized near the density interface both above and below the interface. It is shown that density jumps characteristic of the marine medium significantly influence the formation and variability of the structure of the surface perturbations generated during a fluid’s flowing around an underwater obstacle. The results are compared with the data of the previous model calculations made by the authors for an infinite flow around an obstacle [4]. Significant differences between them are revealed, which should be taken into account in the solution of practical problems, for example, monitoring of coastal marine basins.
