Abstract: We consider the gravity-capillary water waves problem in a domain $Omeg{a}_{t}subsetmathbbTimesmathbbR$ with substantial geometric features. Namely, we consider a variable bottom, smooth obstacles in the flow and a constant background current. We utilize a vortex sheet model introduced by Ambrose, et. al. in arXiv:2108.01786. We show that the water waves problem is locally-in-time well-posed in this geometric setting and study the lifespan of solutions. We then add a damping term and derive evolution equations that account for the damper. Ultimately, we show that the same well-posedness and lifespan results apply to the damped system. We primarily utilize energy methods.
