Ray method for surface waves on a ferromagnetic fluid (Q1085756): Difference between revisions

The ray method, or geometrical optics method, is used to study surface waves on a ferromagnetic fluid of variable depth. Both time-dependent and time-reduced cases are considered on the basis of the shallow-water approximation. An application of the time-reduced ray method leads to the discovery of edge waves on a ferromagnetic fluid over a uniformly sloping bottom.
