Solution of the Linear Free Surface Problem by a Discrete Singularity Method

In this paper, it is demonstrated that, with the distribution of lowest order concentrated(discrete) singularities of delta function nature, the solution to the linear free surface problem can be obtained with a remarkable degree of accuracy. The linear boundary value problem is formulated subject to boundary conditions for the determination of strengths of singularities; the simple sources above(not on) the free surface and the vortices on the body surface. Three sample calculation were performed` the flow about a submerged vortex of known strength, the flow past a submerged circular cylinder, and the flow around a hydrofoil section. The convergence of the numerical procedure is achieved with a relatively small number of elements. The final results are compared with those of the published works, and are considered very satisfactory.
