In this paper, a problem of two-dimensional wave generation due to initial disturbance at the interface between two superposed fluids wherein the upper fluid of finite height above the interface with a horizontal rigid lid and the lower fluid of finite depth in the presence of a uniform running stream in both the fluids is investigated. Assuming linear theory, the problem is formulated as a coupled initial value problem of the velocity potentials describing the motion in the two fluids. In the mathematical analysis, the Laplace and Fourier transform techniques have been utilized to obtain the interface depression when the initial disturbance at the interface is in the form of a prescribed interface depression or an impulse concentrated at the origin. In both the cases, the interface depression is obtained in terms of an infinite integral which is evaluated asymptotically for large time and distance by the method of stationary phase. The asymptotic forms of the interface depression are depicted graphically in a number of figures. The effect of the upper fluid and the presence of the running stream in both the fluids on the wave motion are discussed.
