Abstract

The gravity-wave response of a semi-infinite liquid to the oscillating pressure Pδ(x) exp (iwt) is given in an asymptotic form that is uniformly valid through the transition zone that separates the dispersion-controlled precursor and the monochromatic steady state. The same problem has been considered previously by Stoker (1957), but his initial conditions were spurious, and he did not seek a uniformly valid asymptotic representation.
