    Oscillations in a parabolic container

    We solve the Saint-Venant equations (explicitly or semi-implicitly) for the damped oscillations of a free-surface in a parabolic container. An analytic solution can be obtained due to the fact that the velocity is independent of space (for a linear interface intersecting a parabola). This was first observed by Thacker and later generalised to the (linearly) damped case by Sampson, Easton, Singh, 2006.
