A submerged sphere advancing in a regular finite depth water wave at constant forward speed is analysed by linearized velocity potential. The solution is ob­tained by the multipole expansion extended from that developed for zero speed. Numerical results are obtained for wave-making resistance and lift, added masses, damping coefficients and exciting forces. Far field equations are also derived for calculating damping coefficients and exciting forces. They are used to check the results obtained from integrating pressure over the body surface. Excellent agree­ment is found.


A submerged sphere advancing in regular deep-water waves at constant forward speed is analysed by linearized potential theory. A distribution of sources over the surface of the sphere is expanded into a series of Legendre functions, by extension of the method used by Farell ( J . Ship Res . 17, 1 (1973)) in analysing the wave resistance on a submerged spheroid. The equations governing the velocity potential are satisfied by use of the appropriate Green function and by choosing the coefficients in the series of Legendre functions such that the body surface condition is satisfied. Numerical results are obtained for the wave resistance, hydrodynamic coefficients and exciting forces on the sphere. Some theoretical aspects of a body advancing in waves are also discussed. The far-field equation of Newman ( J . Ship Res . 5, 44 (1961)) for calculation of the damping coefficients is extended, and a similar equation for the exciting forces is derived.

When the wavelength of the incident wave is short, the total surface potential on a floating body is found to be 2∅ i & O (m-l∅ i) on the lit surface and O (m-l∅ j) on the shadow surface where ~b i is the potential of the incident wave and m the wave number in water of finite depth. The present approximation for wave exciting forces and moments is reasonably good up to X/L ∅ 1 where h is the wavelength and L the characteristic length of the body.

The linearized problem of water-wave reflexion by a thin barrier of arbitrary permeability is considered with the restriction that the flow be two-dimensional. The formulation includes the special case of transmission through one or more gaps in an otherwise impermeable barrier. The general problem is reduced to a set of integral equations using standard techniques. These equations are then solved using a special decomposition of the finite depth source potential which allows accurate solutions to be obtained economically. A representative range of solutions is obtained numerically for both finite and infinite depth problems.
