@article{Stuhlmeier2013InternalGW, title={Internal Gerstner waves: applications to dead water}, author={Raphael Stuhlmeier}, journal={Applicable Analysis}, year={2013}, volume={93}, pages={1451 - 1457} }
We give an explicit solution describing internal waves with a still-water surface, a situation akin to the well-known dead-water phenomenon, on the basis of the Gerstner wave solution to the Euler equations.
