Abstract
The translating and pulsating free surface Green function represents the velocity potential of a three-dimensional free surface source advancing in waves. This function involves singular wave integral, which is troublesome in numerical computation. In the present study, a regular wave integral approach is developed for the discretisation of the singular wave integral in a whole space harmonic function expansion, which permits the free surface wave produced by the fluid motion to be decomposed by plane regular propagation waves. This approximation gives rise to a simple and straightforward evaluation of the Green function. The algorithm is validated from comparisons between present numerical results and existing numerical data.
