Hydrodynamic interaction of fixed and floating bodies: amendment of second order potential forces, part I: theoretical investigation; part II: software documentation

A non-linear, three dimensional time domain method is developed for the prediction of the motions of small icebergs in regular waves in the open sea and in the presence of a gravity based structure. This report describes the resulting changes to the theory intended to achieve closer comparison with experiment heave resonance.NRC publication: Ye
