The presented method is tested against two unsteady cases of flows of periodic waves overtopping a surface-piercing rectangular cylinder and a solitary wave evolving into a green water flows on a ship deck when it encounters the surface ship ahead. The generation and evolution of water accumulation, wave run-up...

... oscillation. For the elongated rectangular cylinder, the force coefficients are much more complicated than the circular cylinder because the flow always separates. It is found that the forces on a elongated rectangular cylinder fixed in waves are generally much larger than that harmonically oscillating...
