Abstract

An integral-equation formulation is used to calculate wave forces on bodies having a vertical axis of symmetry. The development enables one to calculate the forces without completely determining the local pressure field, thus offering a considerable reduction of computational effort. Numerical results are presented for a hemisphere at the water surface and vertical circular cylinders.
