... If we neglect viscosity and assume irrotational motion, a numerical scheme based on the less complex boundary integral equation cart be employed, which does not need high performance computers. For the problem of two dimensional free surface flow, Longuet-Higgins and Cokelet t1]
From page 226...
... On each boundary element divided by these nodal points, it is assumed that the complex velocity potential w varies linearly in z. Using the well known procedures by means of these linear boundary elements, the following discrete expressions are obtained with respect to eq.

... 1 can Gove according to the uniform flow component, the treatment of the downstream boundary is more difficult. If this boundary is fixed, nodal points on the downstream free surface will move out of the calculation region.

From page 236...
... In the present method, the combined technique of the upstream difference approximation of dw/dz, the replacement of nodal points on the free surface and the employment of the linear solution form at the downstream boundary can be expected as the numerical radiation condition.
From page 237...
... You have tried various difference schemes in your paper and the final choice was made from computational results. We do not understand how one can choose a specific finite difference scheme if we don't know the correct result in advance.
