Description:
In a recent paper Tadjbakhsh & Keller (1960) have predicted that two-dimensional finite standing gravity waves in a rectangular container will have lower frequency than infinitesimal standing waves in deep water but have higher frequency below a certain mean depth to wavelength ratio. This is in strong contrast to the frequency results for finite progressive waves obtained by many investigators. Experimental confirmation of this prediction is reported together with estimates of the magnitude of the frequency effects at several depths. The frequency effect reversal appears to occur at a depth ratio of 0·14, somewhat less than the predicted ratio of 0·17. © 1962, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
