Abstract

AbstractThe three‐dimensional problem of waves due to an arbitrary initial time‐dependent surface pressure together with an elevation of the surface in a viscous fluid of constant finite depth h is examined. It is shown that the multiple‐integral expression for the surface displacement ζ is reducible to one which is correct to terms of order O(ν'), ν' = ν/(4gh3)1/2, for small coefficient of viscosity ν, under certain conditions. When the Laplace inversion is completed in ζ we arrive at new results which differ significantly from those obtained in an earlier analysis of the problem by Nikitin and Potetyunko [1].
