Abstract

The scattering of short surface waves by a partially immersed cylinder is considered. The cylinder is taken to be circular and to pass through two fixed points on the free surface with its centre on or above the free surface. Of particular interest is the behaviour of the solution as the cross-section of the immersed part of the cylinder approaches a semicircle. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used.
