A NONLINEAR SIMULATION METHOD OF 3-D BODY MOTIONS IN WAVES (1ST REPORT); FORMULATION OF THE METHOD WITH ACCELERATION POTENTIAL

A full nonlinear method to simulate three dimensional body motions in waves is presented. The mathematical formulation of the boundary value problem of the acceleration field is studied and a new time domain simulation method is presented. This is a time domain method to simulate Euler's equation of ideal fluid motion coupled with the equation of solid body motions.
