A coupled boundary and finite-element method for three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction problems.

Three dimensional analytical procedures are developed for determining the wave-exciting and motion-induced hydrodynamic forces for fixed and floating ocean structures in a fluid of finite or infinite depth. The effects of structural flexibility are considered, and the solution of the hydroelastic pr...
