Abstract

We consider the linear problem for water-waves created by sources on the bottom and the free surface in a 3-D basin having slowly varying profile z=D(x)z=-D(x). The fluid verifies Euler-Poisson equations. These (non-linear) equations have been given a Hamiltonian form by Zakharov, involving canonical variables (ξ(x,t),η(x,t))(\xi(x,t),\eta(x,t)) describing the dynamics of the free surface; variables (ξ,η)(\xi,\eta) are related by the free surface Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) operator. For a single variable xRx\in{\bf R} and constant depth, DtN operator was explicitely computed in terms of a convergent series. Here we neglect quadratic terms in Zakharov equations, and consider the linear response to a disturbance of D(x)D(x) harmonic in time when the wave-lenght is small compared to the depth of the basin. We solve the Green function problem for a matrix-valued DtN operator, at the bottom and the free-surface.
