Abstract
Solutions for interfacial waves of permanent form in the presence of a current wcre obtained for small-to-moderate wave amplitudes. A weakly nonlinear approximation was used to give simple analytical solutions to second order in wave height. Numerical methods were usctl to obtain solutions for larger wave amplitudes, details are reported for a number of selected cases. A special class of finite-amplitude solutions, closely related to the well-known Stokes surface waves, were identified. Factors limiting the existence of steady solutions are examined.
