The Rankine source was employed. The ship hull and free surface were discretized into 8-node isoparametric elements. A modified Green formula was used to overcome the numerical difficulty arising from singular or quasi-singular integral equation. In the case of τ>0.25, a rigid wall condition was applied to the upstream and a numerical beach was applied to the downstream to absorb the outgoing waves. The numerical results are satisfactory compared with the experimental results.展开更多
