%J Journal of Fluid Mechanics %X Binder & Vanden-Broeck (2005) showed there are no subcritical or critical solutions satisfying the radiation condition for steady flows past a flat plate. By using a weakly nonlinear analysis, it is shown that such flows exist for a curved plate. Fully nonlinear solutions are computed by a boundary integral equation method, and new nonlinear solutions for supercritical and generalized critical flows past a curved plate are presented. %V 624 %A BJ Binder %A J-M Vanden-Broeck %A F Dias %P 179 - 189 %T On satisfying the radiation condition in free surface flows %O © 2009 Cambridge University Press %D 2009 %L discovery170820
