Rigid-lid resonance of stationary topographic internal waves ($mH=n\pi$)

For a sinusoidal small-amplitude bed, constant current $U>0$ and buoyancy frequency $N$, put $m=\sqrt{N^2/U^2-k^2}>0$. The linear vertical velocity amplitude is $W(z)=ikU{\eta }_0\sin [m(H-z)]/\sin (mH)$. The upward-wave coefficient is $A_{+}=-kU{\eta }_0{e}^{-imH}/[2\sin (mH)]$. At $mH=n\pi$, the prescribed nonzero bed motion and homogeneous rigid-lid condition are incompatible with a bounded stationary inviscid solution. With angle $\theta$ between intrinsic group velocity and vertical, $\tan \theta =m/k$, giving $kH\tan \theta =n\pi$.
