We compute the irrotational motion of two fluids with a horizontal plane surface of separation, under gravity. The fluids are nonviscous and incompressible, the upper one of finite depth with a free surface; they contain a line singularity or a point singularity. We obtain the velocity potentials for each singularity located in the upper or the lower fluid; if the upper depth tends to infinity, known results are recovered. KEY WORDS AND PHRASES.

INTRODUCTION. The reader of this paper should be familiar with Laplace’s equation as applied to fluids. For the two dimensional case studied in Sections 3 and 4, elementary complex variable theory is needed as far as the theory of residues. case treated in Sections 5 and assumed. 6, an elementary For the three dimensional knowledge of spherical harmonies is In brief, you need to know typical singular solutions of Laplace’s equation, since they dominate the potential in the neighborhood of the singularities.

In this paper we shall discuss the basic line and point singularities when they are submerged in one of two fluids. - The upper fluid is on finite constant depth with a free surface (FS); the lower fluid is of infinite depth. ’h’ The time harmonic singularities are described by harmonic potential functions with period which satis- fy the boundary conditions at the surface of separation (SS); in fact it is more convenient to use complex-valued potentials part. The potential must also satisfy singularity: e -it the actual potential being the real limitinF conditions in the neighborhood of the it should behave like a typical singular harmonic function, as already mentioned; in the far field it should represent a spreading wave. Under these require- ments, a unique solution will be found in all cases considered. We note that our solution can be applied to cases when bodies are present in the fluids, whenever the two- or three-dimensional symmetry is such that the motion can be described by a series of singularities placed within the body in suitable positions. Whether the waves are generated by the body, or reflected by the body. does not matter. 2. STATIENT AND FORIULATION OF THE PROBLEM. Consider the irrotational motion of two non-viscous incompressible fluids under the action of gravity. Their SS is a horizontal plane, the lower fluid of infinite depth, the upper of finite height ’h’. Their motion is due to an oscillating singu- larity in one of the fluids; it is assumed to be simple harmonic with period---the velocity potentials too. @i and 2 so (of the lower and upper fluids respectively) will be SINGULARITIES IN A TWO-FLUID MEDIUM 739 We take origin 0 in the mean SS, axis 0y pointing vertically downward into the lower fluid and chosen so it passes through he singularity which is then located at (0,N) or (0,-N) according as the singularity is in the lower or upper fluid respec- tively.

Integral representation of the potential function in a two layered fluid medium where the upper layer is of finite depth with a free surface and lower layer is of infinite depth have been obtained. The different results reduce to the known results of Gorgui and Kassem [3] when the FS in the upper layer is taken to infinity (i.e., h-). We note that these authors thought there was no difficulty except longer equations and a bulkier result in adding the surface tension term in their problem, closely related to ours. ACKNOWLEDGEIENT. We take this opportunity of thanking the editor for his valuable suggestions in the improved version of the paper. 754 R. N. CHAKRABARTI AND B.
