Abstract

Periodic water waves of permanent form traveling at constant speed, the so-called Stokes waves, are studied in water of fixed finite depth using methods previously used in water of infinite depth. We apply our methods to waves of varying steepness over a range of fixed depths in order to determine how a number of physical quantities related to the waves change as the steepness of the waves increases. Finally, we examine the Taylor sign condition for these waves, as well as the complex singularities outside of their domain of definition when the waves are considered as a function of a conformal variable.
