Abstract: This paper concerns the two-dimensional free surface cavity flow past an inclined plate in a finite depth. To close the cavity, a Riabouchinsky model is considered. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible and the flow to be steady and irrotational. When the gravity and surface tension are negligible, an exact free streamline solution is derived. We solve the cavity flow problem by using two numerical methods. These methods allow us to compute solutions including the effects of gravity and surface tension. The first method is the series truncation and the second is the boundary integral equations, based on Cauchy integral formula. Numerical solutions are found for different values of the angle of inclination $\gamma$ and for various values of the Weber number, the Froude number. Good agreement between the two numerical schemes and the exact solution provides a check on the numerical methods.
