Introduction

This is an interaction theory which provides the exact solution (i.e. it is not based on a Wide Spacing Approximation). The theory uses the Cylindrical Eigenfunction Expansion and Graf's Addition Theorem to represent the potential in local coordinates. The incident and scattered potential of each body are then related by the associated Diffraction Transfer Matrix. Interaction Theory for Cylinders presents a simplified version for cylinders.

The basic idea is as follows: The scattered potential of each body is represented in the Cylindrical Eigenfunction Expansion associated with the local coordinates centred at the mean centre position of the body. Using Graf's Addition Theorem, the scattered potential of all bodies (given in their local coordinates) can be mapped to an incident potential associated with the coordinates of all other bodies. Doing this, the incident potential of each body (which is given by the ambient incident potential plus the scattered potentials of all other bodies) is given in the Cylindrical Eigenfunction Expansion associated with its local coordinates. Using the Diffraction Transfer Matrix, which relates the incident and scattered potential of each body in isolation, a system of equations for the coefficients of the scattered potentials of all bodies is obtained.

The theory is described in Kagemoto and Yue 1986 and in Peter and Meylan 2004.

The derivation of the theory in Infinite Depth is also presented, see Kagemoto and Yue Interaction Theory for Infinite Depth.

Equations of Motion

The problem consists of [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] bodies [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] with immersed body surface [math]\displaystyle{ \Gamma_j }[/math]. Each body is subject to the Standard Linear Wave Scattering Problem and the particluar equations of motion for each body (e.g. rigid, or freely floating) can be different for each body. It is a Frequency Domain Problem with frequency [math]\displaystyle{ \omega }[/math]. The solution is exact, up to the restriction that the escribed cylinder of each body may not contain any other body. To simplify notation, [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{y} = (x,y,z) }[/math] always denotes a point in the water, which is assumed to be of Finite Depth [math]\displaystyle{ h }[/math], while [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{x} }[/math] always denotes a point of the undisturbed water surface assumed at [math]\displaystyle{ z=0 }[/math].

The equations are the following

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \Delta\phi &=0, &-h\lt z\lt 0,\,\,\mathbf{x} \in \Omega \\ \partial_z\phi &= 0, &z=-h, \\ \partial_z \phi &= \alpha \phi, &z=0,\,\,\mathbf{x} \in \partial \Omega_{\mathrm{F}}, \end{align} }[/math]

(note that the last expression can be obtained from combining the expressions:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \partial_z \phi &= -\mathrm{i} \omega \zeta, &z=0,\,\,\mathbf{x} \in \partial \Omega_{\mathrm{F}}, \\ \mathrm{i} \omega \phi &= g\zeta, &z=0,\,\,\mathbf{x} \in \partial \Omega_{\mathrm{F}}, \end{align} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha = \omega^2/g \, }[/math])

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_n\phi = \mathcal{L}\phi, \quad \mathbf{x}\in\partial\Omega_B, }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \mathcal{L} }[/math] is a linear operator which relates the normal and potential on the body surface through the physics of the body.

The Sommerfeld Radiation Condition is also imposed.

Eigenfunction expansion of the potential

Each body is subject to an incident potential and moves in response to this incident potential to produce a scattered potential. Each of these is expanded using the Cylindrical Eigenfunction Expansion The scattered potential of a body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] can be expressed as

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j^\mathrm{S} (r_j,\theta_j,z) = \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} f_m(z) \sum_{\mu = - \infty}^{\infty} A_{m \mu}^j K_\mu (k_m r_j) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\mu \theta_j}, }[/math]

with discrete coefficients [math]\displaystyle{ A_{m \mu}^j }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ (r_j,\theta_j,z) }[/math] are cylindrical polar coordinates centered at each body

[math]\displaystyle{ f_m(z) = \frac{\cos k_m (z+h)}{\cos k_m h}. }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ k_m }[/math] are found from [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math] by the Dispersion Relation for a Free Surface

[math]\displaystyle{ \alpha + k_m \tan k_m h = 0\,. }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ k_0 }[/math] is the imaginary root with negative imaginary part and [math]\displaystyle{ k_m }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ m\gt 0 }[/math], are given the positive real roots ordered with increasing size.

The incident potential upon body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] can be also be expanded in regular cylindrical eigenfunctions,

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j^\mathrm{I} (r_j,\theta_j,z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} f_n(z) \sum_{\nu = - \infty}^{\infty} D_{n\nu}^j I_\nu (k_n r_j) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu \theta_j}, }[/math]

with discrete coefficients [math]\displaystyle{ D_{n\nu}^j }[/math]. In these expansions, [math]\displaystyle{ I_\nu }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ K_\nu }[/math] denote the modified : Bessel functions of the first and second kind, respectively, both of order [math]\displaystyle{ \nu }[/math].

Note that the term for [math]\displaystyle{ m =0 }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ n=0 }[/math] corresponds to the propagating modes while the terms for [math]\displaystyle{ m\geq 1 }[/math] ([math]\displaystyle{ n\geq 1 }[/math]) correspond to the evanescent modes.

Derivation of the system of equations

A system of equations for the unknown coefficients of the scattered wavefields of all bodies is developed. This system of equations is based on transforming the scattered potential of [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] into an incident potential upon [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math] ([math]\displaystyle{ j \neq l }[/math]). Doing this for all bodies simultaneously, and relating the incident and scattered potential for each body, a system of equations for the unknown coefficients is developed. Making use of the periodicity of the geometry and of the ambient incident wave, this system of equations can then be simplified.

The scattered potential [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j^{\mathrm{S}} }[/math] of body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] needs to be represented in terms of the incident potential [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_l^{\mathrm{I}} }[/math] upon [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ j \neq l }[/math]. This can be accomplished by using Graf's Addition Theorem

[math]\displaystyle{ K_\tau(k_m r_j) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\tau (\theta_j-\varphi_{jl})} = \sum_{\nu = - \infty}^{\infty} K_{\tau + \nu} (k_m R_{jl}) \, I_\nu (k_m r_l) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu (\pi - \theta_l + \varphi_{jl})}, \quad j \neq l, }[/math]

which is valid provided that [math]\displaystyle{ r_l \lt R_{jl} }[/math]. Here, [math]\displaystyle{ (R_{jl},\varphi_{jl}) }[/math] are the polar coordinates of the mean centre position of [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_{l} }[/math] in the local coordinates of [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_{j} }[/math].

The limitation [math]\displaystyle{ r_l \lt R_{jl} }[/math] only requires that the escribed cylinder of each body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math] does not enclose any other origin [math]\displaystyle{ O_j }[/math] ([math]\displaystyle{ j \neq l }[/math]). However, the expansion of the scattered and incident potential in cylindrical eigenfunctions is only valid outside the escribed cylinder of each body. Therefore the condition that the escribed cylinder of each body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math] does not enclose any other origin [math]\displaystyle{ O_j }[/math] ([math]\displaystyle{ j \neq l }[/math]) is superseded by the more rigorous restriction that the escribed cylinder of each body may not contain any other body.

Making use of the eigenfunction expansion as well as Graf's Addition Theorem, the scattered potential of [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] can be expressed in terms of the incident potential upon [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math] as

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j^{\mathrm{S}} (r_l,\theta_l,z) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty f_m(z) \sum_{\tau = - \infty}^{\infty} A_{m\tau}^j \sum_{\nu = -\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^\nu K_{\tau-\nu} (k_m R_{jl}) I_\nu (k_m r_l) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu \theta_l} \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}(\tau-\nu) \varphi_{jl}} }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ = \sum_{m=0}^\infty f_m(z) \sum_{\nu = -\infty}^{\infty} \Big[ \sum_{\tau = - \infty}^{\infty} A_{m\tau}^j (-1)^\nu K_{\tau-\nu} (k_m R_{jl}) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}(\tau - \nu) \varphi_{jl}} \Big] I_\nu (k_m r_l) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu \theta_l}. }[/math]

The ambient incident wavefield [math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{In}} }[/math] can also be expanded in the eigenfunctions corresponding to the incident wavefield upon [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math]. Let [math]\displaystyle{ \tilde{D}_{n\nu}^{l} }[/math] denote the coefficients of this ambient incident wavefield in the incoming eigenfunction expansion for [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math] (cf. the example in Cylindrical Eigenfunction Expansion).

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{In}}(r_l,\theta_l,z)= \sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n(z) \sum_{\nu = -\infty}^{\infty} \tilde{D}_{n\nu}^{l} I_\nu (k_n r_l) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu \theta_l}. }[/math]

The total incident wavefield upon body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_j }[/math] can now be expressed as

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_l^{\mathrm{I}}(r_l,\theta_l,z) = \phi^{\mathrm{In}}(r_l,\theta_l,z) + \sum_{j=1,j \neq l}^{N} \, \phi_j^{\mathrm{S}} (r_l,\theta_l,z) }[/math]

This allows us to write

[math]\displaystyle{ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} f_n(z) \sum_{\nu = - \infty}^{\infty} D_{n\nu}^l I_\nu (k_n r_l) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu \theta_l} }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ = \sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n(z) \sum_{\nu = -\infty}^{\infty} \Big[ \tilde{D}_{n\nu}^{l} + \sum_{j=1,j \neq l}^{N} \sum_{\tau = -\infty}^{\infty} A_{n\tau}^j (-1)^\nu K_{\tau - \nu} (k_n R_{jl}) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}(\tau - \nu) \varphi_{jl}} \Big] I_\nu (k_n r_l) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\nu \theta_l}. }[/math]

It therefore follows that

[math]\displaystyle{ D_{n\nu}^l = \tilde{D}_{n\nu}^{l} + \sum_{j=1,j \neq l}^{N} \sum_{\tau = -\infty}^{\infty} A_{n\tau}^j (-1)^\nu K_{\tau - \nu} (k_n R_{jl}) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}(\tau - \nu) \varphi_{jl}} }[/math]

Final Equations

The scattered and incident potential of each body [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta_l }[/math] can be related by the Diffraction Transfer Matrix acting in the following way,

[math]\displaystyle{ A_{m \mu}^l = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \sum_{\nu = -\infty}^{\infty} B_{m n \mu \nu}^l D_{n\nu}^l. }[/math]

The substitution of this into the equation for relating the coefficients [math]\displaystyle{ D_{n\nu}^l }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ A_{m \mu}^l }[/math]gives the required equations to determine the coefficients of the scattered wavefields of all bodies,

[math]\displaystyle{ A_{m\mu}^l = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \sum_{\nu = -\infty}^{\infty} B_{mn\mu\nu}^l \Big[ \tilde{D}_{n\nu}^{l} + \sum_{j=1,j \neq l}^{N} \sum_{\tau = -\infty}^{\infty} A_{n\tau}^j (-1)^\nu K_{\tau - \nu} (k_n R_{jl}) \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}(\tau -\nu) \varphi_{jl}} \Big], }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ m \in \mathbb{N} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \mu \in \mathbb{Z} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ l=1,\dots,N }[/math].

-If more than one body is present, all bodies scatter the

-this notably changes the total incident wave upon them.
-Therefore, the diffraction calculation must be conducted
-for all bodies simultaneously. Since each body must be discretised this
-can lead to a very large number of unknowns. However, the scattered
-wavefield can be represented in an eigenfunction basis with a
-comparatively small number of unknowns. If we can express the problem in this
-basis, using what is known as an {\em Interaction Theory},
-the number of unknowns can be much reduced, especially if there is a large
-number of bodies.
-The first interaction theory that was not based on an approximation was
-the interaction theory
-developed by [[kagemoto86]]. Kagemoto and Yue found an exact
-algebraic method to solve the linear wave problem for vertically
-non-overlapping bodies in water of finite depth.  The only restriction
-of their theory was that the smallest escribed circle for each body must not
-overlap any other body. The interaction of the bodies was
-accounted for by taking the scattered wave of each body to be the
-incident wave upon all other bodies (in addition to the ambient
-incident wave). Furthermore, since the cylindrical eigenfunction expansions
-are local, these were mapped from one body to another using
-Graf's addition theorem for Bessel functions.
-Doing this for all bodies,
-\citeauthor{kagemoto86} were able to solve for the
-coefficients of the scattered wavefields of all bodies simultaneously.
-The only difficulty with this method was that the
-solutions of the single diffraction problems had to be available in
-the cylindrical eigenfunction expansion of an outgoing
-wave. \citeauthor{kagemoto86} therefore only solved for axisymmetric
-bodies because the single diffraction solution for axisymmetric
-bodies was
-available in the required representation.
-The extension of the Kagemoto and Yue scattering theory to bodies of
-arbitrary geometry was performed by [[goo90]] who found a general
-way to solve the single diffraction problem in the required
-cylindrical eigenfunction representation. They used a
-representation of the finite depth free surface Green's function in
-the eigenfunction expansion of cylindrical outgoing waves
-centred at an arbitrary point of the water surface (above the
-body's mean centre position in this case). This Green's function was
-presented by
-[[black75]] and further investigated by [[fenton78]]
-who corrected some statements about the Green's function which Black had
-made. This Green's function is
-based on the cylindrical
-eigenfunction expansion of the finite depth free surface Green's
-function given by [[john2]]. The results of
-\citeauthor{goo90} were recently used by [[chakrabarti00]] to
-solve for arrays of cylinders which can be divided into modules.
-The development of the Kagemoto and Yue interaction theory was
-motivated by problems
-in off-shore engineering. However, the theory can also be applied
-to the geophysical problem of wave scattering by ice floes. At the
-interface of the open and frozen ocean an interfacial region known
-as the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) forms. The MIZ largely controls
-the interaction of the open and frozen ocean, especially the interaction
-through wave processors. This is because
-the MIZ consists of vast fields
-of ice floes whose size is comparable to the dominant wavelength, which
-means that it strongly scatters incoming waves. A method of
-solving for the wave response of a single ice floe of arbitrary
-geometry in water of infinite depth was presented by
-[[JGR02]]. The ice floe was modelled as a floating, flexible
-thin plate and its motion was expanded in the free plate modes of
-vibration. Converting the problem for the water into an integral
-equation and substituting the free modes, a system of equations for
-the coefficients in the modal expansion was obtained. However,
-to understand wave propagation and scattering in the MIZ we need to
- understand the way in which large numbers of interacting
-ice floes scatter waves. For this reason, we require an interaction
-theory. While the Kagemoto and Yue interaction theory could be used,
-their theory requires that the water depth is finite.
-While the water depth in the Marginal Ice Zone varies,
-it is generally located far from shore above the deep ocean. This means
-that the finite depth must be chosen large in order to be able to
-apply their theory.   Furthermore, when ocean waves propagate beneath
-an ice floe the wavelength is increased so that it becomes more
-difficult to make the
-water depth sufficiently deep that it may be approximated as infinite. For this
-reason, in this paper we develop  the equivalent interaction theory to
-Kagemoto and Yue's in infinite depth. Also, because of
-the complicated geometry of an ice floe, this interaction theory is
-for bodies of arbitrary geometry.
-In the first part of this paper Kagemoto and Yue's interaction theory
-is extended to water of infinite depth. We represent the incident and
-scattered potentials in the cylindrical eigenfunction expansions
-and we use an analogous infinite depth Green's function
-to the one used by \citeauthor{goo90} \cite[given by][]{malte03}. We
-show how the infinite
-depth diffraction transfer matrices can be obtained with the use of
-this Green's function and we illustrate how the rotation of a body
-about its mean centre position in the plane can be accounted for without
-recalculating the diffraction transfer matrix.
-In the second part of the paper, using \citeauthor{JGR02}'s single
-floe result,
-the full diffraction calculation for the motion and scattering from many
-interacting ice floes is calculated and presented. For two square
-interacting ice floes the convergence of the method obtained from the
-developed interaction theory is compared to the result of the full
-diffraction calculation. The solutions of more than two interacting
-ice floes and of other shapes in different arrangements are presented as well.
-We also compare the convergence of the finite depth and infinite
-depth methods in
-deep water.
-==Finite Depth Interaction Theory==
-We will compare the performance of the infinite depth interaction theory
-with the equivalent theory for finite
-depth. As we have stated previously, the finite depth theory was
-developed by [[kagemoto86]] and extended to bodies of arbitrary
-geometry by [[goo90]]. We will briefly present this theory in
-our notation and the comparisons will be made in a later section.

-===Transformation into an integral equation===
-The problem for the water is converted to an integral equation in the

-Green's function for water of infinite depth.
-The Green's function allows the representation of the scattered water

-\phi^\mathrm{S}}{\partial n_\mathbf{\zeta}} (\mathbf{\zeta}) \right)
-\mathrm{d}\sigma_\mathbf{\zeta}, \quad \mathbf{y} \in D.
 </math></center>

-symmetric and therefore satisfies the free surface boundary condition
-with respect to the second variable as well can be used to
-drastically simplify  (int_eq). Due to the linearity of the problem
-the ambient incident potential can just be added to the equation to obtain the
-total water velocity potential,
-<math>\phi=\phi^{\mathrm{I}}+\phi^{\mathrm{S}}</math>. Limiting the result to
-the water surface leaves the integral equation for the water velocity
-potential under the ice floe,
-<center><math> (int_eq_hs)
-\phi(\mathbf{x}) = \phi^{\mathrm{I}}(\mathbf{x}) +

-\phi(\mathbf{\xi}) + \mathrm{i}\sqrt{\alpha} w(\mathbf{\xi}) \big)
-\mathrm{d}\sigma_\mathbf{\xi}, \quad \mathbf{x} \in \Delta.
-</math></center>
-Since the surface displacement of the ice floe appears in this
-integral equation, it is coupled with the plate equation  (plate_final).
-A method of solution is discussed in detail by [[JGR02]] but a short
-outline will be given. The surface displacement of the ice floe is
-expanded into its modes of vibration by calculating the eigenfunctions
-and eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator. The integral equation for
-the potential is then solved for every eigenfunction which gives a
-corresponding potential to each eigenfunction. The expansion in the
-eigenfunctions simplifies the biharmonic equation and, by using the
-orthogonality of the eigenfunctions, a system of equations for the
-unknown coefficients of the eigenfunction expansion is obtained.
-===The coupled ice floe - water equations===
-Since the operator <math>\nabla^4</math>, subject to the free edge boundary
-conditions, is self-adjoint a thin plate must possess a set of modes <math>w^k</math>

-\end{subequations}
-The potential <math>\phi^0</math> represents the potential due to the incoming wave

-===Full diffraction calculation for multiple ice floes===
-The interaction theory is a method to allow more rapid solutions to
-problems involving multiple bodies. The principle advantage is that the
-potential is represented in the cylindrical eigenfunctions and
-therefore fewer unknowns are required. However, every problem which
-can be solved by the interaction theory can also be solved by applying
-the full diffraction theory and solving an integral equation over the
-wetted surface of all the bodies. In this section we will briefly show
-how this extension can be performed for the ice floe situation. The
-full diffraction calculation will be used to check the performance and
-convergence of our interaction theory. Also, because the interaction
-theory is only valid when the escribed cylinder for each ice floe does
-not contain any other floe, the full diffraction calculation is
-required for a very dense arrangement of ice floes.
-We can solve the full diffraction problem for multiple ice floes by the

-should be noted that <math>\phi_j^k(\mathbf{x})</math> is, in general, non-zero
-for <math>\mathbf{x}\in \Delta_{n}</math> (since the vibration of the <math>j</math>th
-plate will result in potential under the <math>n</math>th plate).
-We substitute equations  (expansion_f) and  (expansionphi_f) into

-==Numerical Results==
-In this section we will present some calculations using the interaction
-theory in finite and infinite depth and the full
-diffraction method in finite and infinite depth.
-These will be based on calculations for ice floes. We begin with some
-convergence tests which aim to compare the various methods. It needs
-to be noted that this comparison is only of numerical nature since the
-interactions methods as well as the full diffraction calculations
-are exact in an analytical sense. However, numerical calculations
-require truncations which affect the different methods in different
-ways. Especially the dependence on these truncations will be investigated.
-===Convergence Test===
-We will present some convergence tests that aim to compare the
-performance of the interaction theory with the full diffraction
-calculations and to compare the
-performance of the finite and infinite depth interaction methods in deep water.
-The comparisons will be conducted for the case of two square ice floes
-in three different arrangements.
-In the full diffraction calculation the ice floes
-are discretised in <math>24 \times 24 = 576</math> elements. For the full diffraction
-calculation the resulting linear system of equations to be solved is
-therefore 1152. As will be seen, once the diffraction
-transfer matrix has been calculated (and saved), the dimension of the
-linear system of equations to be solved in the interaction method is
-considerably smaller. It is given by twice the dimension of the
-diffraction transfer matrix. The most challenging situation for the
-interaction theory is when the bodies are close together. For this
-reason we choose the distance such that the escribed circles
-of the two ice floes just overlap. It must be recalled that the

-===Multiple ice floe results===
-We will now present results for multiple ice floes of different
-geometries and in different arrangements on water of infinite depth.
-We choose the floe arrangements arbitrarily, since there are
-no known special ice floe arrangements, such as those that give
-rise to resonances in the infinite limit.
-In all plots, the wavelength <math>\lambda</math> has been chosen to
-be <math>2</math>, the stiffness <math>\beta</math> and the mass <math>\gamma</math> of the ice
-floes to be 0.02 and Poisson's ratio <math>\nu</math> is <math>0.3333</math>. The ambient
-wavefield of amplitude 1 propagates in
-the positive direction of the <math>x</math>-axis, thus it travels from left to
-right in the plots.
-Figure (fig:int_arb) shows the
-displacements of multiple interacting ice floes of different shapes and
-in different arrangements. Since square elements have been used to
-represent the floes, non-rectangular geometries are approximated.
-All ice floes have an area of 4 and the escribing circles do not
-intersect with any of the other ice floes.
-The plots show the displacement of the ice floes at time <math>t=0</math>.

-==Summary==
-The finite depth interaction theory developed by
-[[kagemoto86]] has been extended to water of infinite
-depth. Furthermore, using the eigenfunction
-expansion of the infinite depth free surface Green's function we have
-been able to calculate the diffraction transfer matrices for bodies of
-arbitrary geometry. We also showed how the diffraction transfer
-matrices can be calculated efficiently for different orientations of
-the body.
-The convergence of the infinite depth interaction method is similar to
-that of the finite depth method. Generally, it can be said that the
-greater the water depth in the finite depth method the poorer its
-performance. Since bodies in the water can change the water depth
-which is required to allow the water to be approximated as infinitely
-deep (ice floes for example) it is recommendable to use the infinite
-depth method if the water depth may be considered
-infinite. Furthermore, the infinite depth method requires the infinite
-depth single diffraction solutions which are easier to
-compute than the finite depth solutions.
-It is also possible that the
-convergence of the infinite depth method may be further improved
-by a novel to optimisation of the discretisation of the continuous variable.</math>
