Numerical Investigations of Motions and Drift Forces on Different Bodies Usingthe DELFRAC Program

摘要

The program DELFRAC is that is based on the three-dimensional potential theory isinvestigated in order to analyse results of computations. Results from a comparative study of numerical predictions of motions due to waves and of the mean drift forces are presented and discussed. Comparisons with experimental and theoretical results of other authors are discussed. Some conclusions about the use and development of the program DELFRAC are made.
