Abstract
Equations of motion of the Boussinesq or Korteweg-deVries type are derived for three-dimensional (axisymmetrical), weakly nonlinear, long waves in water of variable depth. Typical numerical solutions are presented for the propagation and focusing of a cylindrical solitary wave over an ocean of constant depth, or over a submerged conical island of constant slope.
