AbstractIt is well-known that transcritical flow over a localized obstacle generates upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains. The flow has been successfully modelled in the framework of the forced Korteweg - de Vries equation, where numerical and asymptotic analytical solutions have shown that the upstream and downstream nonlinear wavetrains have the structure of unsteady undular bores, connected by a locally steady solution over the obstacle, which is elevated on the upstream side and depressed on the downstream side. Inthispaper we consider the analogous transcritical flow over a step, primarily in the context of water waves. We use numerical and asymptotic analytical solutions of the forced Korteweg - de Vries equation, together with numerical solutions of the full Eulerequations, to demonstrate that a positive step generates only an upstream-propagating undular bore, and a negative step generates only a downstream-propagating undular bore. © 2007 Cambridge University Press.
