Abstract

Problems concerning the interaction of water waves with a rigid plate of finite width and infinite length lying in the free surface have a long history. Such problems are interesting for many reasons. First the simple geometry allows considerable mathematical progress to be made and thus dock problems can be used as model problems against which to test new techniques or numerical results. Secondly they can be used as the first approximation in a perturbation analysis of wave interactions with shallow-draft ships.
