Abstract
We show that in the linear approximation there are three classes of reflectionless wave propagation on a surface of shallow water in the channel with spatially varying depth, width and current speed. Two of these classes have been described in our previous paper (Churilov & Stepanyants, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 931, 2022, A15), and the third one was discovered recently and is described here. The general analysis of the problem shows that, within the approach used in both of our papers, these three classes apparently exhaust all possible cases of exact solutions of the problem considered.We show that the reflectionless flow can be global for certain conditions, i.e. it can exist on the entire x-axis. There are also reflectionless flows which exist only on limited intervals of the x-axis.
