Abstract

The Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM) is extended to solve three-dimensional, linearized, transient water wave problems. Only the radiation problems concerning long waves generated by an upthrust block of the sea bed are considered in this paper. Due to the linearization, free surface boundary conditions are applied on the still water level rather than the actual location of the free surface. Thus, the problem becomes a fixed boundary problem. A radiation boundary condition is used to truncate the computational domain. Reasonable agreement between present numerical results and previous analytical solutions is observed.
