... and the normal velocity are both unknown on that surface. In this paper, we solve the problem by representing the unknowns in terms of generalized modes. The velocity potentials corresponding to the generalized modes are derived as the solutions of the hyper-singular integral equations with prescribed Neumann...

... ( dry modes). These modes are then imported, as generalized modes, in a 3D hydrodynamic model, which is based on a three dimensional panel method and utilizes Green s theorem. This model enables the hydroelastic analysis of the FB and the calculation of all the quantities that describe the performance...

... ABSTRACT Wave-induced cross-structure loads are presented for a SWATH ( S mall W aterplane A rea T win H ull) vessel whose hull is made up of simple geometrical shapes. The hydrodynamic problem is solved using the higher-order boundary element method and the generalized modes approach...

... of geometric symmetry planes can not be exploited and the constraints must be imposed in an ad-hoc manner. An efficient alternative is to define generalized modes as shown by Newman (1993, 1994, 1998). Care should be taken to define the generalized modes as either symmetric or anti-symmetric about geometric...
