... To illustrate the method, preliminary results are presented of the unsteady and steady state fluid actions and flow fields associated with arbitrary shaped, submerged bodies moving through prescribed manoeuvres. INTRODUCTION When a rigid body departs from steady motion in a straight line the surrounding fluid exerts a resultant force and a resultant moment about the centre of gravity of the body as a consequence of the disturbance.

... derived by the non-linear model are relatively insensitive to panel distribution, idealization etc., allowing simplifications in the numerical procedures; however, the evaluation of a detailed flow velocity field is more sensitive to idealization and the wake fluid domain must be modelled to allow for the complete formation of the vortex wake pattern. Building on these previous studies, here we present a viscous boundary element panel distribution method to evaluate the unsteady fluid actions experienced by two and three-dimensional arbitrary shaped bodies moving in a stationary, unbounded, incompressible viscous fluid.

In the linear model, the cylinder's surface was idealised by a distribution of 100 equally spaced viscous boundary elements though it was shown that a 10 element distribution produced similar convergent solutions and both sets of numerical results compared very well with Oseen's theoretical prediction as given by LambE23, Re 13.

... The cylinder's surface was again idealised by a distribution of 40 equally spaced viscous boundary elements, each containing a time dependent oseenlet and in a similar procedure to the equivalent steady state calculations, 400 panels were distributed into the fluid domain contained within an imposed surrounding outer boundary at R = 6D (say)
