The existence and decay of water waves in the presence of a fixed obstacle
Abstract
The behavior is investigated of linear water waves in two dimensions on the free surface of an unbounded ocean in the presence of a fixed body on the surface. The major interest is in the behavior for large t. The decay estimates for flows which are symmetric are examined with respect to a vertical line and proves the main theorem.
