Abstract

A workshop was held at MIT in February 1986 for specialists performing theoretical research on the interactions of water waves with floating or submerged bodies. The principal applications of this field are related to ship hydrodynamics and to wave loadings on offshore platform. In addition to the traditional approach based on linearization of the wave and body motions, substantial progress has been made on nonlinear problems including both analytical and numerical studies. Subsequent workshops are planned on an annual basis.
