One step ahead in the numerical modelling of transient water waves: The identification of the time-domain Green function
Abstract
The deterministic modelization of the interaction between water waves and marine structures in the frame of the time-domain potential theory involves convolution integrals computations. In this paper we introduce a discrete time model of the memory part of the Green function in order to replace the evaluation of these integrals by a simple numerical linear filtering. The reported application of the method to a simple test case illustrates the reduction of computation time and mass storage it will be able to bring in the simulation of more realistic cases.
