This paper investigates isobaric motions for which the values of the pressure are conserved in fluid particles. In it, a new analytic exact particular solution of nonlinear multidimensional hydrodynamic equations is obtained; it describes a trochoidal wave in cylindrical geometry. It is also proved that trochoidal waves in cylindrical and plane geometry exhaust the class of nonlinear isobaric motions. The trochoidal wave in cylindrical geometry is of interest, since it describes a nonlinear wave on the surface of a cavity in a rotating fluid, a situation which is frequently encountered in applications.
