== Equations for the Radiation Potential in Frequency Domain ==

We decompose the body motion into the rigid body modes of motion. Associated with

each of these modes is a potential which must be solved for.

We denote the solution for each of the radiation potentials by

<math>\phi_\nu^{\mathrm{R}}</math> and the total potential is written as

{{added mass damping and force matrices definition}}
  \partial_n \phi^{\mathrm{D}}  = =\partial_n \phi^{\mathrm{I}} \mathbf{x} \in F,

 +
Then the equations can be expressed as follows.
 +
<center><math>  \left[-\omega^2 \left(\mathbf{M} + \mathbf{A} \right) -

\mathrm{i}\omega \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{C} \right] \vec{\zeta} = \mathbf{f} </math></center>

<math>\vec{\zeta}</math> is the vector of body displacements and <math>\mathbf{f}</math> is the force.

The extension of these equations to six degrees of freedom is straightforward. However before discussing the general case we will study specific properties of the two dimensional problem for the sake of clarity.

It will be shown that

<center><math> A_{ij}(\omega) = A_{ji}(\omega) \,</math></center>
 +
<center><math> B_{ij}(\omega) = B_{ji}(\omega) \,</math></center>

Along the same lines it will be shown that the exciting force <math>\mathbf{X}_j\,</math> can be expressed in terms of <math> \psi_j\,</math> circumventing the solution for the diffraction potential.

The core result needed for the proof of the above properties is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_identities Green's second identity]

In the surface wave-body problem define the closed surfaces as shown in figure on the right.

Let <math> \phi_j\,</math> be rediation or diffraction potentials. Over the boundaries <math>S^\pm\,</math> we have:

<center><math> S^+: \quad \phi_j \ \sim \ \frac{igA_j^+}{\omega} e^{Kz-iKx} \,</math></center>

<center><math> \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} = - \frac{\partial \phi_j}{\partial x} \ \sim \ - iK\phi_j \,</math></center>

On <math> S_F: \qquad \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial z} = K\phi_j, \qquad \frac{\partial \Phi_j}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial \phi_j}{\partial z} </math>

On <math> S_\infty: \qquad \left| \phi_j \right|, \quad \left| \nabla \phi_j \right| \to 0 </math>.
 +
 
 +
Applying Green's identity to any pair of the radiation potentials <math> \psi_i, \psi_j \,</math>:
 +
 
 +
<center><math> \iint_{S_B} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial n} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial n} \right] \mathrm{d}S = - \iint_{S_F} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial z} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial z} \right] \mathrm{d}S </math></center>
 +

<center><math> - \iint_{S_+} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial x} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial x} \right] \mathrm{d}S

 +
It follows that:
 +
 
 +
<center><math> \iint_{S_B} \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S = \iint_{S_B} \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S </math></center>

where the radiation velocity potential <math> \phi_i \,</math> is known to satisfy:

<center><math> \frac{\partial\phi_i}{\partial n} = i\omega n_i, \quad \mbox{on} \ S_B </math></center>

 +
and
 +
 
 +
<center><math> \frac{\partial\phi_7}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n}, \quad \mbox{on} \ S_B </math></center>
 +
 
 +
Both <math> \phi_i\,</math> and <math> \phi_7\,</math> satisfy the condition of outgoing waves at infinity. By virtue of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_identities Green's second identity]
 +
 
 +
<center><math> \iint_{S_B} \phi_7 \frac{\partial\phi_i}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S = \iint_{S_B} \phi_i \frac{\partial\phi_7}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S = -\iint_{S_B} \phi_i \frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S </math></center>
 +
 
 +
The Haskind expression for the exciting force follows:
 +
 
 +
<center><math> \mathbf{X}_i(\omega) = \rho \iint_{S_B} \left[ \phi_I \frac{\partial\phi_i}{\partial n} - \phi_i \frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n} \right] \mathrm{d}S </math></center>
 +
 
 +
The symmetry of the <math> A_{ij}(\omega), B_{ij}(\omega) \,</math> matrices applies in 2D and 3D. The application of Green's Theorem in 3D is very similar using the far-field representation for the potential <math> \phi_j\,</math>
 +
 
 +
<center><math> \phi_j \sim \frac{A_j(\theta)}{\sqrt{R}} e^{KZ-iKR} + O\left(\frac{1}{R^{3/2}}\right) </math></center>
  
Consider a [[Linear Plane Progressive Regular Waves|Linear Plane Progressive Regular Wave]] interacting with a floating body in two dimensions (the main concepts survive almost with no change in the more practical three-dimensional problem). We begin by defining the following,
+
<center><math> \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial R} \sim - i K \phi_j + O\left(\frac{1}{R^{3/2}}\right) </math></center>
  
<center><math> \zeta(t): \quad \mbox{ambient wave elevation. Regular or random with definitions to be given below}. \,</math></center>
+
where <math> R \,</math> is a radius from the body out to infinity and the <math> R^{-\frac{1}{2}} \,</math> decay arises from the energy conservation principle. Details of the 3D proof may be found in [[Mei 1983]] and [[Wehausen and Laitone 1960]]
  
<center><math> \xi_1(t): \quad \mbox{Body surge displacement} \,</math></center>
+
The use of the Haskind relations for the exciting forces does not require the solution of the diffraction problem. This is convenient and often more accurate.
  
<center><math> \xi_3(t): \quad \mbox{Body heave displacement} \,</math></center>
+
The Haskind relations take other forms which will not be presented here but are detailed in [[Wehausen and Laitone 1960]]. The ones that are used in practice relate the exciting forces to the damping coefficients.
  
<center><math> \xi_4(t): \quad \mbox{Body roll displacement} \,</math></center>
+
These take the form:
  
where the surge, heave and roll are the three [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics rigid body] motions which are possible in two dimensions.
+
<u>2D</u>:      <math> B_{ii} = \frac{\left| \mathbf{X}_i \right|^2}{2\rho g V_g}, \quad V_g = \frac{g}{2\omega}, </math>      Deep water
  
== Linear theory ==
+
<u>3D</u>:      <math> B_{33} = \frac{K}{4\rho g V_g} \left| \mathbf{X}_3 \right|^2 \,</math>      --- Heave
  
We assume that we can apply linear theory to the motions, which are an extension of the [[Linear and Second-Order Wave Theory| linear equations]] for a free-surface. We assume that
+
(Axisymmetric bodies)      <math> B_{22} = \frac{K}{8\rho g V_g} \left| \mathbf{X}_2 \right|^2 \,</math>     --- Sway
<center><math> \left| \frac{\partial\zeta}{\partial x} \right| = O(\varepsilon) \ll 1 \, </math></center>
 
This is an assumption of small wave steepness which is a reasonable assumption for gravity waves in most cases, except when waves are near breaking conditions. Furthermore we assume
 
<center><math> \left| \frac{\xi_1}{A} \right| = O(\varepsilon) \ll 1 \, </math></center>
 
<center><math> \left| \frac{\xi_3}{A} \right| = O(\varepsilon) \ll 1 \, </math></center>
 
<center><math> \left| \xi_4 \right| = O(\varepsilon) \ll 1 \, </math></center>
 
These assumptions are valid in most cases and most bodies of practical interest, unless the vessel response at resonance is highly tuned or lightly damped. This is often the case for roll when a small amplitude wave interacts with a vessel weakly damped in roll.
 
  
== Linear systems theory ==
+
So knowledge of <math> \mathbf{X}_i(\omega)\,</math> allows the direct evaluation of the diagonal damping coefficients. These expressions are useful in deriving theoretical results in wave-body interactions to be discussed later.
  
[[Image:Linear_systems_theory.jpg|thumb|right|600px|Linear systems theory]]
+
The two-dimensional theory of wave-body interactions in the frequency domain extends to three dimencions very directly with little difficulty.
  
The vessel dynamic responses in waves may be modelled according to linear system theory. By virtue of linearity, a random seastate may be represented as the linear superposition of [[Linear Plane Progressive Regular Waves]] (see [[Waves and the Concept of a Wave Spectrum]])
+
The statement of the 6 d.o.f. seakeeping problem is:
<center><math> \zeta(x,t) = \sum_j A_j \cos ( K_j x - \omega_j t + \epsilon_j ) \,</math></center>
 
where in deep water: <math> K_j = \frac{\omega_j^2}{g} \,</math>. Note that the sum here can be replace by an integral in many formulations. According to the theory of St. Denis and Pierson, the phases <math> \epsilon\, </math>, are random and uniformly distributed between <math> ( - \pi, \pi ] \, </math>. For now we assume them known constants:
 
  
At <math> X=0\,</math>:
+
<center><math> \sum_{j=1}^6 \left[ - \omega^2 \left( M_{ij} + A_{ij} \right) + i \omega B_{ij} + C_{ij} \right] \Pi_j = \mathbf{X}_j, \quad i=1,\cdots,6 </math></center>
  
<center><math> \zeta(t) = \sum_j A_j \cos ( \omega_j t - \epsilon_j ) \,</math></center>
+
where
  
<center><math> = \mathrm{Re} \sum_j A_j e^{i\omega_j t - i \epsilon_j} </math></center>
+
<center><math> M_{ij}: \mbox{Body inertia matrix including moments of inertia for rotational modes. For details refer to MH} \, </math></center>
  
The corresponding vessel responses follow from linearity in the form:
+
<center><math> A_{ij}(\omega): \mbox{Added mass matrix} \,</math></center>
  
<center><math> \xi_K (t) = \mathrm{Re} \sum_j \Pi_K (\omega_j) e^{i\omega_j t - i\epsilon_j},  
+
<center><math> B_{ij}(\omega): \mbox{Damping matrix} \, </math></center>
  
\qquad K = 1, 3, 4 </math></center>
+
<center><math> C_{ij}: \mbox{Hydrostatic and static inertia restoring matrix. For details refer to MH} \, </math></center>
  
Where <math> \Pi_K (\omega) \, </math> is the complex RAO ([[Response Amplitude Operator]]) for mode <math> K\,</math>. It is the object of linear seakeeping theory to derive equations for <math>\Pi\omega)\,</math> the frequency domain. The treatment in the stochastic case is then a simple exercise in linear systems.
+
<center><math> \mathbf{X}_i(\omega): \mbox{Wave exciting forces and moments} </math></center>
  
== Calculation of the RAO ==
+
At zero speed the definitions of the added-mass, damping matrices and exciting forces are identical to those in two dimensions.
  
The equations of motion for <math> \xi_K(t)\,</math> follow from Newton's law applied to each mode in two dimensions. The same principles apply with very minor changes in three dimensions
+
The boundary value problems satisfied by the radiation potentials <math>\phi_j, \ j=1,\cdots,6 \,</math> and the diffraction potential <math> \phi_7 \,</math> are as follows:
  
We begin by considering the equation in surge.
+
Free-surface condition:
<center><math> \mathbf{M} \frac{\mathrm{d}^2\xi_1}{\mathrm{d}t^2} = F_{1\omega} ( \xi_1, \dot\xi_1, \ddot\xi_1, t) </math></center>
 
where <math> \frac{\mathrm{d}\xi_1}{\mathrm{d}t} = \dot\xi_1 \, </math> and <math> F_{1\omega} \, </math> is the force on the body due to the fluid pressures, by virtue of linearity, <math> F_{1\omega} \,</math> will be assumed to be a linear functional of <math> \xi_1, \dot\xi_1, \ddot\xi_1 \, </math>. [[Memory effects]] exist when surface waves are generated on the free surface, so <math> F_{1\omega} \,</math> depends in principle on the entire history of the vessel displacement. We adopt here the [[Frequency Domain Problem|frequency domain]] formulation where the vessel motion has been going on over an infinite time interval, <math> (-\infty, t)\,</math> with <math> e^{i\omega t}\,</math> dependence.
 
  
We will therefore set:
+
<center><math> -\omega^2 \phi_j + g \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial Z} = 0, \quad z=0 \quad j=1,\cdots,7 </math></center>
<center><math> \xi_K(t) = \mathrm{Re} \left\{ \Pi_K e^{i\omega t} \right\}, \qquad K=1,3,4 </math></center>
 
In this case we can linearize the water induced force on the body as follows:
 
<center><math> F_{1\omega}(t) = X_1(t) - A_{11} \ddot \xi_1 - A_{13} \ddot \xi_3 - A_{14} \ddot \xi_4 </math></center>
 
  
<center><math> - B_{11} \dot \xi_1 - B_{13} \dot \xi_3 - B_{14} \dot \xi_4 </math></center>
+
Body-boundary conditions:
  
<center><math> - C_{11} \xi_1 - C_{13} \xi_3 - C_{14} \xi_4 \,</math></center>

<center><math>

\begin{align}

\frac{\partial\phi_7}{\partial n} &= -\frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n}, \quad \mbox{on} \quad S_B \\

\phi_I &= \frac{i g A}{\omega} e^{Kz-iKx\cos\beta-iKy\sin\beta+i\omega t} \\
 +
\frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} &= i\omega n_j, \quad j=1,\cdots,6 \, \\
 +
n_j &= \begin{cases}
 +
  n_j, & j=1,2,3 \\
 +
  \left( \vec{x} \times \vec{n} \right), & j=4,5,6
 +
\end{cases}
 +
\end{align}
 +
</math></center>
  
<center><math> = X_1(t) - \sum_j \left[ A_{1j} \ddot \xi_j + B_{1j} \dot \xi_j + C_{1j} \xi_j \right] </math></center>

 +
<center><math> j=4: \ \mbox{Roll} \qquad j=5: \ \mbox{Pitch} \qquad j=6: \ \mbox{Yaw} </math></center>
  
The same expansion applies for other modes, namely Heave (<math> K = 3 \, </math>) and Roll (<math> K=4 \, </math>). In sum:
+
At large distances from the body the velocity potentials satisfy the radiation condition:
  
<center><math> F_{K\omega} (t) = X_K - \sum_j \left[ A_{Kj} \ddot \xi_j + B_{Kj} \dot \xi_j + C_{Kj} \xi_j \right], \qquad K = 1,3,4 </math></center>

The zero-frequency limit of the Sway added mass is finite and similar to the infinite frequency limit of the Heave added mass.
  
The extension of these equations to six degrees of freedom is straightforward. However before discussing the general case we will study specific properties of the 2D Problem for the sake of clarity.

Rigid body motions

We consider a Linear Plane Progressive Regular Wave in the Frequency Domain interacting with a floating body in two dimensions (the main concepts survive almost with no change in the more practical three-dimensional problem).

Introduction

We derive here the equations of motion for a body in Linear Plane Progressive Regular Waves in the frequency domain in two dimensions. We begin with the equations in the time domian. The simplest problems is Waves reflecting off a vertical wall

Equations for a Floating Body in the Time Domain

We begin with the equations for a floating two-dimensional body in the time domain.

The equations of motion in the time domain are Laplace's equation through out the fluid

[math]\displaystyle{ \Delta\Phi\left( \mathbf{x,}t\right) =0,\ \ \mathbf{x}\in\Omega. }[/math]

At the bottom surface we have no flow

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_{n}\Phi=0,\ \ z=-h. }[/math]

At the free surface we have the kinematic condition

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_{t}\zeta=\partial_{n}\Phi,\ \ z=0,\ x\in \partial\Omega_{F}, }[/math]

and the dynamic condition (the linearized Bernoulli equation)

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_{t}\Phi = -g\zeta ,\ \ z=0,\ x\in \partial\Omega_{F}. }[/math]

The body boundary condition for a floating body is given in terms of the 3 rigid body motions, namely surge, heave and pitch which are indexed as [math]\displaystyle{ \nu=1,3,5 }[/math] in order to be consistent with the three-dimensional problem. We have a kinematic condition

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_{n}\Phi=\sum_{\nu}\partial_t \xi_{\nu}\mathbf{n}_{\nu},\ \mathbf{x}\in\partial\Omega_{B}, }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \xi_{\nu} }[/math] is the motion of the [math]\displaystyle{ \mu }[/math]th mode and [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{n}_{\nu} }[/math] is the normal associated with this mode. Note that we define all normal derivatives to point out of the fluid. The dynamic condition is the equation of motion for the structure:

[math]\displaystyle{ \sum_{\nu} M_{\mu\nu}\partial_t^2 \xi_{\nu}=-\rho\iint_{\partial\Omega_{B}}\partial_t\Phi n_{\mu}\, dS - \sum_{\nu} C_{\mu\nu}\xi_{\nu},\quad \textrm{for} \qquad \mu=1,3,5, }[/math]

In this equation, [math]\displaystyle{ M_{\mu\nu} }[/math] are the elements of the mass matrix

[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{M}=\left[ \begin{matrix} M & 0 & M(z^c-Z^R) \\ 0 & M & -M(x^c-X^R) \\ M(z^c-Z^R)& -M(x^c-X^R) & I^b_{11}+I^b_{33} \end{matrix} \right] , }[/math]

for the structure and [math]\displaystyle{ c_{\mu\nu} }[/math] are the elements of the buoyancy matrix

[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{C}=\left[ \begin{matrix} 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \rho g W & -\rho g I^A_{1} \\ 0 & -\rho g I^A_{1} & \rho g (I^A_{11}+I^V_3)-Mg(z^c-Z^R) \end{matrix} \right]. }[/math]

The terms [math]\displaystyle{ I^b_{11} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ I^b_{33} }[/math] are the moments of inertia of the body about the [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ z }[/math] axes and the terms [math]\displaystyle{ I_1^{A} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ I^{A}_{11} }[/math] are the first and second moments of the waterplane (the waterplane area is denoted [math]\displaystyle{ W }[/math]) about the [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math]-axis (see Chapter 7, Mei 1983). In addition, [math]\displaystyle{ (x^c,z^c) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ (X^R,Z^R) }[/math] are the positions of the centre of mass and centre of rotation of the body and [math]\displaystyle{ I^{V}_{3} }[/math] is [math]\displaystyle{ z }[/math]-component centre of buoyancy of the structure. Thus, the coupled equations of motion for a floating structure have been derived. (N.B. if is assumed that the centre of rotation and the centre of mass of the structure coincide, i.e. if it is assumed that the body is semi-submerged, the mass and buoyancy matrices become diagonal). Any wave incidence is assumed to be propagating in the positive [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] direction.) The scattering and radiation problems are simpler than the coupled problem because the motion of the the structure is then prescribed.

More details can be found in Time-Dependent Linear Water Waves

Equations for a Floating Body in the Frequency Domain

The dynamic condition is the equation of motion for the structure in the frequency domain can be found from the time domain equations and we introduce the following notation

[math]\displaystyle{ \xi_{\nu} = \zeta_{\nu}e^{-\mathrm{i}\omega t}\, }[/math]

This give us

[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{ -\omega^2 \sum_{\nu} M_{\mu\nu}\zeta_{\nu}=\mathrm{i}\omega\rho\iint_{\partial\Omega}\phi n_{\mu}\, \mathrm{d}S - \sum_{\nu} C_{\mu\nu}\zeta_{\nu},\quad \textrm{for} \qquad \mu=1,3,5, }[/math]

The equations of motion for [math]\displaystyle{ \zeta_\nu\, }[/math] follow from Newton's law applied to each mode in two dimensions. The same principles apply with very minor changes in three dimensions. We use the standard numbering of the modes of motion.

Equations for a Fixed Body in Frequency Domain

The equations for a fixed body are

[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]) The body boundary condition for a rigid body is just

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_{n}\phi=0,\ \ \mathbf{x}\in\partial\Omega_{\mathrm{B}}, }[/math]

plus the radiation conditions.

We decompose the potential as [math]\displaystyle{ \phi = \phi^{\mathrm{I}} + \phi^{\mathrm{D}} \,, }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{I}} }[/math] is the incident potential and [math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{D}} }[/math] is the diffracted potential. The boundary condition for the diffracted potential is

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

plus

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_n \phi^{\mathrm{D}} = - \partial_n \phi^{\mathrm{I}},\,\, \mathbf{x} \in \partial\Omega_{B}, }[/math]

Code to calculate the solution (using a slighly modified method) can be found in Boundary Element Method for a Fixed Body in Finite Depth

Equations for the Radiation Potential in Frequency Domain

We decompose the body motion into the rigid body modes of motion. Associated with each of these modes is a potential which must be solved for. The equations for the radiation potential in the frequency domain are

[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]) The body boundary condition for a radiation mode [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math] is just

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_{n}\phi=\mathbf{n}_\nu,\ \ \mathbf{x}\in\partial\Omega_{\mathrm{B}}, }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{n}_{\nu} }[/math] is the normal derivative of the [math]\displaystyle{ \nu }[/math] mode on the body surface directed out of the fluid.

In two-dimensions the Sommerfeld Radiation Condition is

[math]\displaystyle{ \left( \frac{\partial}{\partial|x|}-k_0\right) \phi=0,\;\mathrm{{as\;}}|x|\rightarrow\infty\mathrm{.} }[/math]

Code to calculate the radiation potential can be found in Boundary Element Method for the Radiation Potential in Finite Depth

We denote the solution for each of the radiation potentials by [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_\nu^{\mathrm{R}} }[/math] and the total potential is written as

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi = \phi^{\mathrm{I}} + \phi^{\mathrm{D}} - \mathrm{i} \omega \sum_\nu \zeta_\nu \phi_\nu^{\mathrm{R}} }[/math]

Final System of Equations

We substitute the expansion for the potential into the equations in the frequency domain and we obtain

[math]\displaystyle{ -\omega^2 \sum_{\nu} M_{\mu\nu}\zeta_{\nu}=\mathrm{i}\omega\rho\iint_{\partial\Omega_{B}} \left(\phi^{\mathrm{I}} + \phi^{\mathrm{D}} - \mathrm{i}\omega \sum_{\nu} \zeta_\nu \phi_{\nu}^{\mathrm{R}}\right) \mathbf{n}_{\mu}\, dS - \sum_{\nu} C_{\mu\nu}\xi_{\nu},\quad \textrm{for} \qquad \mu=1,3,5, }[/math]

We define the added mass matrix by

[math]\displaystyle{ A_{\mu\nu} = \mathrm{Re} \left\{\rho\iint_{\partial\Omega_{B}} \phi_{\nu}^{\mathrm{R}} \mathbf{n}_{\mu}\, dS \right\} }[/math]

and the damping matrix by

[math]\displaystyle{ B_{\mu\nu} = \mathrm{Im} \left\{ \omega \rho\iint_{\partial\Omega_{B}} \phi_{\nu}^{\mathrm{R}} \mathbf{n}_{\mu}\, dS \right\} }[/math]

and the forcing vector by

[math]\displaystyle{ f_{\mu} = \mathrm{i}\omega\rho\iint_{\partial\Omega_{B}} \left(\phi^{\mathrm{I}} + \phi^{\mathrm{D}} \right) \mathbf{n}_{\mu}\, dS }[/math]

Then the equations can be expressed as follows.

[math]\displaystyle{ \left[-\omega^2 \left(\mathbf{M} + \mathbf{A} \right) - \mathrm{i}\omega \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{C} \right] \vec{\zeta} = \mathbf{f} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{M} }[/math] is the mass matrix, [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{A} }[/math] is the added mass matrix, [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{B} }[/math] is the damping matrix, [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{C} }[/math] is the hydrostatic matrix, [math]\displaystyle{ \vec{\zeta} }[/math] is the vector of body displacements and [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{f} }[/math] is the force.


The extension of these equations to six degrees of freedom is straightforward. However before discussing the general case we will study specific properties of the two dimensional problem for the sake of clarity.

Symmetric body

For a body which is Symmetric in Two Dimensions the Heave is decoupled from Surge and Roll. In other words the Surge and Roll motions do not influence Heave and vice versa.

Symmetry-reciprocity relations

It will be shown that

[math]\displaystyle{ A_{ij}(\omega) = A_{ji}(\omega) \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ B_{ij}(\omega) = B_{ji}(\omega) \, }[/math]

Along the same lines it will be shown that the exciting force [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{X}_j\, }[/math] can be expressed in terms of [math]\displaystyle{ \psi_j\, }[/math] circumventing the solution for the diffraction potential. The core result needed for the proof of the above properties is Green's second identity

[math]\displaystyle{ \iint_S \left( \psi_1 \frac{\partial\psi_2}{\partial n} - \psi_2 \frac{\partial\psi_1}{\partial n} \right) \mathrm{d}S = 0 \, }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \nabla^2 \psi_i=0 }[/math].

Boundary

In the surface wave-body problem define the closed surfaces as shown in figure on the right. Let [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j\, }[/math] be rediation or diffraction potentials. Over the boundaries [math]\displaystyle{ S^\pm\, }[/math] we have:

[math]\displaystyle{ S^+: \quad \phi_j \ \sim \ \frac{igA_j^+}{\omega} e^{Kz-iKx} \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial \phi_j}{\partial x} \ \sim \ -iK\phi_j \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ S^-: \quad \phi_j \ \sim \ \frac{igA_j^-}{\omega} e^{Kz+iKx} \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} = - \frac{\partial \phi_j}{\partial x} \ \sim \ - iK\phi_j \, }[/math]

On [math]\displaystyle{ S_F: \qquad \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial z} = K\phi_j, \qquad \frac{\partial \Phi_j}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial \phi_j}{\partial z} }[/math]

On [math]\displaystyle{ S_\infty: \qquad \left| \phi_j \right|, \quad \left| \nabla \phi_j \right| \to 0 }[/math].

Applying Green's identity to any pair of the radiation potentials [math]\displaystyle{ \psi_i, \psi_j \, }[/math]:

[math]\displaystyle{ \iint_{S_B} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial n} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial n} \right] \mathrm{d}S = - \iint_{S_F} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial z} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial z} \right] \mathrm{d}S }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ - \iint_{S_+} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial x} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial x} \right] \mathrm{d}S + \iint_{S_-} \left[ \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial x} - \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial x} \right] \mathrm{d}S = 0 }[/math]

It follows that:

[math]\displaystyle{ \iint_{S_B} \psi_i \frac{\partial\psi_j}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S = \iint_{S_B} \psi_j \frac{\partial\psi_i}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S }[/math]

or

[math]\displaystyle{ A_{ij}(\omega) = A_{ji}(\omega), \qquad B_{ij}(\omega) = B_{ji}(\omega). \, }[/math]

Haskind relations of exciting forces

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \mathbf{X}_i(\omega) &= - i\omega\rho\iint_{S_B} (\phi_I + \phi_7) n_i \mathrm{d}S \\ &= - \rho \iint_{S_B} (\phi_I + \phi_7) \frac{\partial \phi_i}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S \end{align} }[/math]

where the radiation velocity potential [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_i \, }[/math] is known to satisfy:

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial\phi_i}{\partial n} = i\omega n_i, \quad \mbox{on} \ S_B }[/math]

and

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial\phi_7}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n}, \quad \mbox{on} \ S_B }[/math]

Both [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_i\, }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_7\, }[/math] satisfy the condition of outgoing waves at infinity. By virtue of Green's second identity

[math]\displaystyle{ \iint_{S_B} \phi_7 \frac{\partial\phi_i}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S = \iint_{S_B} \phi_i \frac{\partial\phi_7}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S = -\iint_{S_B} \phi_i \frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n} \mathrm{d}S }[/math]

The Haskind expression for the exciting force follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{X}_i(\omega) = \rho \iint_{S_B} \left[ \phi_I \frac{\partial\phi_i}{\partial n} - \phi_i \frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n} \right] \mathrm{d}S }[/math]

The symmetry of the [math]\displaystyle{ A_{ij}(\omega), B_{ij}(\omega) \, }[/math] matrices applies in 2D and 3D. The application of Green's Theorem in 3D is very similar using the far-field representation for the potential [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j\, }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j \sim \frac{A_j(\theta)}{\sqrt{R}} e^{KZ-iKR} + O\left(\frac{1}{R^{3/2}}\right) }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} = \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial R} \sim - i K \phi_j + O\left(\frac{1}{R^{3/2}}\right) }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ R \, }[/math] is a radius from the body out to infinity and the [math]\displaystyle{ R^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, }[/math] decay arises from the energy conservation principle. Details of the 3D proof may be found in Mei 1983 and Wehausen and Laitone 1960

The use of the Haskind relations for the exciting forces does not require the solution of the diffraction problem. This is convenient and often more accurate.

The Haskind relations take other forms which will not be presented here but are detailed in Wehausen and Laitone 1960. The ones that are used in practice relate the exciting forces to the damping coefficients.

These take the form:

2D: [math]\displaystyle{ B_{ii} = \frac{\left| \mathbf{X}_i \right|^2}{2\rho g V_g}, \quad V_g = \frac{g}{2\omega}, }[/math] Deep water

3D: [math]\displaystyle{ B_{33} = \frac{K}{4\rho g V_g} \left| \mathbf{X}_3 \right|^2 \, }[/math] --- Heave

(Axisymmetric bodies) [math]\displaystyle{ B_{22} = \frac{K}{8\rho g V_g} \left| \mathbf{X}_2 \right|^2 \, }[/math] --- Sway

So knowledge of [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{X}_i(\omega)\, }[/math] allows the direct evaluation of the diagonal damping coefficients. These expressions are useful in deriving theoretical results in wave-body interactions to be discussed later.

The two-dimensional theory of wave-body interactions in the frequency domain extends to three dimencions very directly with little difficulty.

The statement of the 6 d.o.f. seakeeping problem is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \sum_{j=1}^6 \left[ - \omega^2 \left( M_{ij} + A_{ij} \right) + i \omega B_{ij} + C_{ij} \right] \Pi_j = \mathbf{X}_j, \quad i=1,\cdots,6 }[/math]

where

[math]\displaystyle{ M_{ij}: \mbox{Body inertia matrix including moments of inertia for rotational modes. For details refer to MH} \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ A_{ij}(\omega): \mbox{Added mass matrix} \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ B_{ij}(\omega): \mbox{Damping matrix} \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ C_{ij}: \mbox{Hydrostatic and static inertia restoring matrix. For details refer to MH} \, }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{X}_i(\omega): \mbox{Wave exciting forces and moments} }[/math]

At zero speed the definitions of the added-mass, damping matrices and exciting forces are identical to those in two dimensions.

The boundary value problems satisfied by the radiation potentials [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j, \ j=1,\cdots,6 \, }[/math] and the diffraction potential [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_7 \, }[/math] are as follows:

Free-surface condition:

[math]\displaystyle{ -\omega^2 \phi_j + g \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial Z} = 0, \quad z=0 \quad j=1,\cdots,7 }[/math]

Body-boundary conditions:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \frac{\partial\phi_7}{\partial n} &= -\frac{\partial\phi_I}{\partial n}, \quad \mbox{on} \quad S_B \\ \phi_I &= \frac{i g A}{\omega} e^{Kz-iKx\cos\beta-iKy\sin\beta+i\omega t} \\ \frac{\partial\phi_j}{\partial n} &= i\omega n_j, \quad j=1,\cdots,6 \, \\ n_j &= \begin{cases} n_j, & j=1,2,3 \\ \left( \vec{x} \times \vec{n} \right), & j=4,5,6 \end{cases} \end{align} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ j=1: \ \mbox{Surge} \qquad j=2: \ \mbox{Sway} \qquad j=3: \ \mbox{Heave} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ j=4: \ \mbox{Roll} \qquad j=5: \ \mbox{Pitch} \qquad j=6: \ \mbox{Yaw} }[/math]

At large distances from the body the velocity potentials satisfy the radiation condition:

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j (R,\theta) \sim \frac{A_j(\theta)}{\sqrt{R}} e^{Kz-iKR} + O \left( \frac{1}{R^{3/2}} \right) }[/math]

with

[math]\displaystyle{ K = \frac{\omega^2}{g}. \, }[/math]

This radiation condition is essential for the formulation and solution of the boundary value problems for [math]\displaystyle{ \phi_j\, }[/math] using panel methods which are the standard solution technique at zero and forward speed.

Qualitative behaviour of the forces, coefficients and motions of floating bodies

[math]\displaystyle{ - \omega^2 \phi + g \phi_Z =0 \quad \begin{cases} \phi_Z=0,\quad \omega=0 \\ \phi=0, \quad \omega \to \infty \end{cases} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ B_{33}(\omega), \sim \omega, \mbox{at low} \ \omega \, }[/math]

The 2D Heave added mass is singular at low frequencies. It is finite in 3D

The 2D Heave damping coefficient is decaying to zero linearly in 2D and superlinearly in 3D. A two-dimensional section is a better wavemaker than a three-dimensional one

A 2D section oscillating in Sway is less effective a wavemaker at low frequencies than the same section oscillating in Heave

The zero-frequency limit of the Sway added mass is finite and similar to the infinite frequency limit of the Heave added mass.

In long waves the Heave exciting force tends to the Heave restoring coefficient times the ambient wave amplitude the free surface behaves like a flat surface moving up and down.

In long waves the Sway exciting force tends to zero. Proof will follow

In short waves all forces tend to zero.

Pitch exciting moment (same applies to Roll) tends to zero. Long waves have a small slope which is proportional to [math]\displaystyle{ KA }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ K\, }[/math] is the wave number and [math]\displaystyle{ A\, }[/math] is the wave amplitude.

Prove that to leading order for [math]\displaystyle{ KA\to 0 \, }[/math]:

[math]\displaystyle{ \left| X_S(\omega) \right| \sim KA C_{55}\, }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ C_{55}\, }[/math] is the Pitch ([math]\displaystyle{ C_{44} \, }[/math] for Roll) hydrostatic restoring coefficient. [NB: very long waves look like a flat surface inclined at [math]\displaystyle{ KA\, }[/math] ].

Body motions in regular waves

Heave:

[math]\displaystyle{ \Pi_3 = \frac{\mathbf{X}_3(\omega)}{-\omega^2(A_{33} + M) + i\omega B_{33} +C_{33} } }[/math]

Resonance:

[math]\displaystyle{ \omega^2 = \frac{C_{33}}{M+A_{33}} = \frac{\rho g A \omega}{M + A_{33} (\omega)} }[/math]

In principle the above equation is nonlinear for [math]\displaystyle{ \omega\, }[/math]. Will be approximated below

At resonance:

[math]\displaystyle{ \Pi_3 = \frac{\mathbf{X}_3(\omega^*)}{i\omega^* B_{33}(\omega^*)} \, }[/math]

Invoking the relation between the damping coefficient and the exicting force in 3D:

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\left| \Pi_3 \right|}{A} = \frac{\left| \mathbf{X}_3(\omega) \right|}{\omega \frac{K}{4\rho g V_g} \left| \mathbf{X}_3 \right|^2}, \quad V_g=\frac{g}{2\omega} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ =\frac{2\rho g}{\omega^3 \left|\mathbf{X}_3(\omega)\right|}, \quad \mbox{at resonance} }[/math]

This counter-intuitive result shows that for a body undergoing a pure Heave oscillation, the modulus of the Heave response at resonance is inversely proportional to the modulus of the Heave exciting force.

Viscous effects not discussed here may affect Heave response at resonance

The behavior of the Sway response can be found in an analagous manner,
