Abstract: In this paper we study the motion of a surface gravity wave with viscosity. In particular we prove two well-posedness results. On the one hand, we establish the local solvability in Sobolev spaces for arbitrary dissipation. On the other hand, we establish the global well-posedness in Wiener spaces for a sufficiently large viscosity. These results are the first rigorous proofs of well-posedness for the Dias, Dyachenko & Zakharov system (Physics Letters A2008) modelinggravity waves with viscosity when surface tension is not taken into account.
