A Boundary Element Method (BEM) model for the propagation of non- linear free-surface waves is described and its application to the study of the hydrodynamic characteristics associated with the roll-motion of 2-D hull sec- tions is presented. The roll-motion of…

In this paper some two dimensional infiltration problems are considered. The problems involve infiltration from periodic irrigation channels into a soil which contains impermeable sheets of finite width. The problems are reduced to boundary integral equations which may be solved…
