Numerical computations of non‐linear gravity waves are presented and the effects of mesh variations on the results are discussed. Waves are regarded as two‐parameter families (λ, A ) Q of arbitrary discharge Q , and computations are carried out using a new Kantorovich algorithm. Mesh effects are to a large extent dependent on the particular wave region under consideration. Three such regions are identified and typical examples are computed and discussed.
