Abstract

The problem of seiche-oscillations in lakes having the shape of solids of revolution has been considered by Lamb for the particular case of a paraboloidal lake.

 

This paper deals with a right conical lake of large semi-vertical angle, with and without a circular cylindrical coaxial island.  The differential equation of seiche-oscillations, expressed in the vector form is solved by a variational method, first used by Hidaka for seiche-problems.  Period equations have been obtained for those modes of vibration, involving nodal diameters and nodal circles.  The results obtained for a laks with a central island are applied to Lake Toya, Japan.
