Abstract

The development of a numerical method for the computation of the linear and weakly non-linear wave effects on floating bodies is presented. The method is formulated in terms of a higher order time-domain boundary elements method based on the Rankine sources. The higher order approach is assumed for both body geometry (using NURBS) and computed function (using B-splines), the former in a standard CAD geometry format to provide more flexibility. In this paper, the procedures adopted for the numerical solution of the main mathematical problems involved are thoroughly described and discussed, with the purpose of documenting important aspects of these methods that are often absent in the literature. Several verification cases are presented, including first-order quantities (motion RAOs, velocity field, and free-surface elevation) and second-order loads (mean drift, sum, and difference components). Regarding the latter, at the present stage of the development, the numerical method is able to compute the so-called quadratic components of forces and moments. For these loads, steady-state solutions in both monochromatic and bichromatic waves are compared to the results obtained with a well-known frequency-domain code. (AU)
