Abstract

Two dimensional, non-linear water wave generation and propagation problems are solved by the boundary element method. A time-stepping technique, which uses an iterative scheme to evaluate the non-linear terms in the free-surface boundary condition, is used in the integral equations. A particular concern is the radiation boundary conditions which are necessary to prevent contamination of the solution from the artificial (computational) boundaries. The techniques are illustrated by two examples: (1) wave generation by a variable surface pressure and (2) a moving submerged cylinder. Refs.
