Computation of Design Load and Motion for Floating Structures Navigating in Waves

摘要

—Analytical and numerical investigation is made of the source potential for floating structurewith forward speed in waves.A particular form is selected for numerical applications,where the double in-tegral of the Green function is transformed into the single one and the oscillation characteristics forintegrands in the specific computation domain are treated numerically.A comparison of calculated exam-p1es with published data is given and it shows that the numerical simulation is satisfactory and the accura-cy is adequate to engineering application.
