... Even though Sindbad can be run to solve both the nonlinear and linear problems, it was felt that a proper assessment of tile validity of its results required some confrontation with more traditional linear frequency domain models. Comparisons have been made with two such models, one based on matching of eigenfunction expansions Or tile potential in tile three sub-domains limited by a rectangular barge (left, right, and underneatI~)

... The definition of the reflected wave that we give is therefore difficult to interpret is one refers to the Eulerian velocity potential in the fluid domain. However, as we use a Lagrangian specification for the time-stepping procedure, there is no ambiguity for the implementation of the method; we refer to the potentials attached to a marker labeled by its abscissa xc along the reference position of the free surface (that coincides with the x-axis)
