... ABSTRACT Flow around a ship that advances at a constant speed in calm water of finite depth is considered within the usual framework of the Green-function and boundary-integral method associated with potential-flow theory. This method requires accurate and efficient evaluation of flows created...

... ABSTRACT Based on the work by Chen (1993) on the Green function in water of finite depth in which two depth-effect functions are defined, we have performed new analyses and obtained new formulations. The analytical logarithmic terms are extracted from the depth-effect functions. Special...

... of nonlinearity on steady-state resonance waves in water of finite depth is also discussed. INTRODUCTION When studying the interaction between waves, Philips (1960) first discovered the conditions under which four surface traveling waves resonate in deep water: (equation) (equation) where (equation...

... ABSTRACT A numerical seakeeping prediction including the influence of finite water depth on two ship interactions in waves is presented. An algorithm is developed to solve the zero-forward speed free surface Green function for finite depth water by combining both the integral form and John's...

... ABSTRACT A linearized 2-D radiation and diffraction problems are considered of a general-shaped floating body in a two-layer fluid of finite depth. A boundary integral-equation method is developed for solving directly the velocity potential on the wetted surface of a body which straddles both...

... ABSTRACT We present a solution for a circular thin plate of shallow draft on water of finite depth subject to linear wave forcing of a single frequency. The solution, which is given in a closed form, is based on decomposing the solution into angular eigenfunctions. The coefficients...

The experimental added mass coefficient values for the horizontal oscillation and the wave damping coefficients for the vertical oscillation in finite depth differ more than 100% from the corresponding 3-D...

... ABSTRACT Characteristic groups of random sea waves on deep water and finite depth are introduced by adopting and extending the well-known concept of characteristic waves. The characteristic groups are defined starting from random wave groups formed by zero upcrossing waves obtained...
