Abstract
The problem of free tidal wave propagation in two-dimensional uniform-depth basins is considered. To solve the problem, a numerical algorithm, a version of the Babenko method, is developed. The algorithm makes it possible to solve the problem in a singly-connected domain admitting conformal mapping onto a circle. A solution can be obtained for both nonrotating and rotating basins. The first natural frequencies are determined for elliptic basins with different eccentricities and angular velocities and certain characteristic natural shapes demonstrating the distinctive features of tidal flows in elliptic basins are constructed. The time evolution of modes in a rotating elliptic basin is studied.
