Abstract

Existence of edge waves travelling along three-dimensional periodic structures is considered within the linear water-wave theory. A condition ensuring the existence is derived by analysing the spectrum of a suitably defined trace operator. The sufficient condition is a simple inequality comparing a weighted volume integral, taken over the submerged part of an element in the infinite array of identical obstacles, to the area of the free surface pierced by the obstacle. Various examples are given, and the results are extended to edge waves along periodic coastlines and over a periodically varying ocean floor.
