Abstract

We analytically study a scattering of long linear surface waves on stationary currents in a duct (canal) of constant depth and variable width. It is assumed that the background velocity linearly increases or decreases with the longitudinal coordinate due to the gradual variation of duct width. Such a model admits an analytical solution of the problem in hand, and we calculate the scattering coefficients as functions of incident wave frequency for all possible cases of sub-, super-, and transcritical currents. For completeness we study both cocurrent and countercurrent wave propagation in accelerating and decelerating currents. The results obtained are analyzed in application to recent analog gravity experiments and shed light on the problem of hydrodynamic modeling of Hawking radiation.
