Numerical simulation of nonlinear waves and ship motions

A numerical method is presented for simulating the behaviour of large amplitude nonlinear free surface waves including wave breaking. Various initial conditions are given and the subsequent surface profiles are calculated by a time stepping simulation. The flow field is solved as a boundary value pr...
