Abstract

A ship cross section undergoes periodic oscillations in a finite water layer, overlaying a mud layer. The upper fluid is considered to be inviscid, and the mud is modeled as a Newtonian liquid. The section contour is replaced by a distribution of wave sources with unknown strength, satisfying a corresponding boundary integral equation. Its kernel is expressed through a newly derived Green function. The numerical solution of the integral equation allows evaluation of the added-mass and damping coefficients. Specific computations pertaining to Lewis forms show a drastic dependence of the added-mass and damping coefficients on the mud thickness and density.
