On the Theory of Flow of Regular Water Waves about a Body.

Abstract

The object of this study is to present new results concerning the integral-equation-Green-function method of solution of the basic linearized problem of potential flow of regular water waves about a body. The main results of the study are: (i) a new integral equation for determining the velocity potential, (ii) a relatively simple explicit approximate solution of this integral equation, and (iii) asymptotic expansions, ascending series, and one-dimensional Taylor series expansions for efficient numerical evaluation of the Green function.
