Two dimensional shallow water flow through a valley

The two-dimensional structure of shallow water flow through a valley with vertical sidewalls is investigated. First, the linear theory of steady flow through a contraction is presented. The related normal modes are decaying exponentially with distance to the walls of the valley for subcritical flow....
