Tóm tắt

The interaction of large-amplitude water waves with a compliant floating raft such as a sea-ice floe or a pontoon-type VLFS (very large floating structure) is considered. The solution is expressed as a series using a perturbation expansion, the first two components of which are solved inductively using a boundary-integral method. The primary interest of this paper is to the ways in which the second-order potential can be modified in order to apply the boundary-integral method and to the comparison of results with those derived using eigenfunction matching methods.
