Abstract
This paper describes the nonlinear wave field produced by a translating submerged spheroid. The exact free surface condition is used and a time-stepping scheme is used to model the development of the wave field in time. The spheroid immersed in a three-dimensional wave tank starts abruptly with constant velocity in an axial horizontal direction. The present solutions of the induced linear hydrodynamic forces from Froude's number 0.4 to 0.8 are compared with other authors' results and found to be close, subsequently, the comparisons between the nonlinear and the linear hydrodynamic forces are rather paralleled.
