Abstract

A novel time-domain Green's function is developed for dealing with two-dimensional interaction between water waves and floating bodies with considering viscous dissipation effects based on the "fairly perfect fluid" model. In the Green's function, the temporal (lower order viscosity coefficient term) and spatial (higher order viscosity coefficient term) viscous dissipation effects are fully considered. As compared to the methods based on the existing time-domain Green's functions that could not account for the spatial viscous dissipation, the method based on the new time-domain Green's function can give much better numerical results and overcome instability problems related to the existing Green's function, according to the numerical tests and comparison with CFD modeling data for a few cases related to floating bodies with a flare angle.
