✦ Synopsis

The problem of the impact of a box with an elastic bottom on a thin liquid layer is solved in a planar formulation in the shallow water approximation. Using the method of normal modes, the problem is reduced to a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by the Runge-Kutta method. It is shown that the elasticity of the bottom not only affects all the characteristics quantitatively but also qualitatively.
