Resumo

Davis has shown by means of a lengthy calculation that, for two-dimensional oscillations in a canal of width 2a, the mth eigenvalue has the form \[ N_m = {\textstyle\frac{1}{2}}m\pi - \frac{\lambda_1+\lambda_2}{4m\pi}+o\bigg(\frac{1}{m}\bigg), \] where λ1/a and λ2/a are the curvatures of the bounding cross-sectional curve C at its vertical intersections with the free surface. Here the same result is obtained more simply.
