Abstract
DEALING theoretically with internal gravitational waves in vertically inhomogeneous incompressible fluids, many authors have assumed discontinuities, at certain levels, either in the density or in its first derivative with respect to the vertical co-ordinate, z. Fjeldstad, on the other hand, by using numerical integration, gave an approximate solution of the problem for long waves in certain general, continuous density distributions between a free surface and a rigid bottom.
