... for the radiation condition, proposed some kinds of iterative procedures to solve the nonlinear problem [6,11,153. The present paper is a first approach to our future aim to develope a full nonlinear method, implementing the exact boundary conditions taking into account viscosity and surface tension effects at the free surface.

... The introduction of a boundary layer at the free surface can be considered as a first step of a zonal splitting of the global problem into several interacting ones: - the irrotational subdomain; - the boundary layer at the free surface; - the boundary layer about the body km 1q| = U - the wake; 1 a= Ho Furthermore the new dynamic boundary condition improves some convergence properties of the numerical procedure t153. To deduce the above mentioned condition we start from the consideration that the irrotational motion does not fulfil the condition of zero tangential stresses at the free surface (if the free boundary has a non zero curvature)

V) Furthermore we observe velocity distribution in domain can be decomposed as: ~ vT qua where q is required to satisfy: or V'9`r=0 Vx9~~t of the thickness that the the fluid In particular the velocity at the free boundary can be thought as the sum of [V\' and the jump ^|9~| of the rotational component across the boundary layer.

The model with surface tension can be a very deep tool for describing nonlinear energy transfer phenomena; the results obtained with the simplified linear model are preliminary steps for studying a radiation condition suitable also for the nonlinear model.

... Anyway, since the attenuation increases with the curvature of the free surface, as it has been pointed out dealing with viscosity effects at the free boundary, the damping of capillary ripples must be much stronger with respect to the gravity waves. For the 2nd part of the question, the effect of surface tension on the wave behind the body is easily evaluated.
