Abstract
Forced harmonic heaving motion of a ship at the free surface of an
inviscid incompressible fluid is analyzed. Added mass and damping are
determined using finite element techniques. Iso-parametric elements
with curved boundaries allow accurate representation of the hull shape.
A computer program is developed and results are found to agree closely
with previously obtained theoretical and experimental results.
