Abstract A higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) using three dimensional translating-pulsating (3DTP) Green’s function is developed and applied to calculate the hydrodynamic forces on vessels advancing in waves in the present study. In this HOBEM, geometrical and physical variables are expressed by the shape functions defined by four nodal values; and Green’s function in Havelock form is adopted in the numerical implementation. The Gauss-Legendre quadrature is first adopted for the integral of 3DTP Green’s function over panel. However, due to the highly oscillating characteristic of Green’s function near the free surface, numerical instability is observed in the final results. To avoid this unstable problem, an improved algorithm for the integral of Green’s function is proposed. We discretize the panel into a series of horizontal line segments and derive an integral expression of 3DTP Green’s function distributing on the line segment. By accumulating a series of 3DTP Green’s function distributing on various horizontal line segments, the panel integral of Green’s function is obtained. To validate the performance of the improved algorithm, hydrodynamic forces on a mathematical ship model Wigley III are first calculated. The results are compared with those of the former algorithm and experimental data, which shows that improved algorithm is more stable and accurate. The present HOBEM is then applied to analyse the radiation and diffraction problems for a Series 60 hull and a catamaran hull. The computed hydrodynamic coefficients and wave forces are found to be in good agreement with experimental data.

In the absence of strong motion records at the future construction sites, different theoretical and semi-empirical approaches are used to estimate the initial seismic vibrations of the soil. If there are records of weak earthquakes on the site and the parameters of the fault that generates the calculated earthquake are known, then the empirical Green’s function can be used. Initially, the empirical Green’s function method in the formulation of Irikura was applied for main shock record modelling using its aftershocks under the following conditions: the magnitude of the weak event is only 1–2 units smaller than the magnitude of the main shock; the focus of the weak event is localized in the focal region of a strong event, hearth, and it should be the same for both events. However, short-termed local instrumental seismological investigation, especially on seafloor, results usually with weak microearthquakes recordings. The magnitude of the observed micro-earthquakes is much lower than of the modeling event (more than 2). To test whether the method of the empirical Green’s function can be applied under these conditions, the accelerograms of the main shock of the earthquake in L'Aquila (6.04.09) with a magnitude Mw = 6.3 were modelled. The microearthquake with ML = 3,3 (21.05.2011) and unknown origin mechanism located in mainshock’s epicentral zone was used as the empirical Green’s function. It was concluded that the empirical Green’s function is to be preprocessed. The complex Fourier spectrum smoothing by moving average was suggested. After the smoothing the inverses Fourier transform results with new Green’s function. Thus, not only the amplitude spectrum is smoothed out, but also the phase spectrum. After such preliminary processing, the spectra of the calculated accelerograms and recorded correspond to each other much better. The modelling demonstrate good results within frequency range 0,1–10 Hz, considered usually for engineering seismological studies.
