The Waves Generated by a Moving Oscillatory Surface Pressure on a Sloping Beach
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized Fourier transformation is used to represent the surface displacement of a wave generated by a moving oscillatory surface pressure. Butts et al. solved the two-dimensional initial-value problem of water waves generated on a sloping beach by oscillating surface pressure, and found that in the ultimate steady state there exists two or four waves depending upon whether a critical ratio is greater or less than unity, while it remains singular when the critical ratio was equal to unity.
