Abstract

Using the combination of the canonical formalism for free-surface hydrodynamics and conformal mapping to the half-plane we obtain a simple system of pseudo-differential equations for the surface shape and hydrodynamic potential. The system is well-adjusted for a numerical simulation. Some typical results of such a simulation are presented.
