Abstract

In studying head-sea diffraction by a slender body via matched asymptotics, Haren & Mei (1981) found numerically that the normalized inner problem is singular at a special frquency. In the present note, this singularity is confirmed by a different numerical method and by an analytical demonstration in the shallow-water limit.
