Abstract

Experimental measurements were made of the variation of water-surface height across the crests of solitary waves travelling along trapezoidal channels. The channels had one vertical side and the other side sloped at either 30°, 45° or 60° to the vertical. Reliable results were not obtained with the last channel, but for the other channels there was reasonable agreement with recent theoretical results.
