... To circumvent this difficulty, most known methods use, apart from the physical simplifications stated above, additional mathematical simplifications: Almost exclusively a linearized free-surface boundary condition is implied at the location of the undisturbed free surface, and in most cases the solution is described by a superposition of complicated singularities that meet this linearized free-surface condition identically. All linear methods show good agreement with measurements only for special hull forms or high Froude numbers En = U2/~, where U is ship speed, g acceleration of gravity, and Lpp the ship length between perpendiculars.

... Therefore the equilibrium conditions are The velocity potential is subject to the following F + G + Z + F O (~10) boundary conditions: No flow across the body surface with normal direction and n: TV = 0 on the wetted body surface.

... To validate this simple scheme to enforce the radiation condition and the open boundary condition, the flow around a submerged dipole with Kelvin condition at the free surface was computed and compared to analytical solutions given by Nakatake A

... points where the boundary condition is fulfilled, and as integration points for the numerical integration over the body surface, which is performed simply by adding the products of integrand times panel area. This gives a system of linear equations for the unknown source strengths.
From page 599...
... The body boundary condition will always be violated near such a corner. The panel method may still be applicable for practical purposes if the overall solution is not disturbed.

... · Further, all these sources are mirrored both at the symmetry plane of the ship and - in case of shallow water - at the bottom to satisfy the respective boundary conditions. The source strengths are determined from the following conditions: · On the ship surface up to the plane somewhat above the water surface, the condition of vanishing flow velocity normal to the surface is satisfied.

... Forward trim usually encountered on shallow water can reduce yaw stability so severely that ships may loose their ability to keep course. Figure 8 shows results for the draught at the forward perpendicular divided by the stagnation height U2/2g depending on depth Froude number F72h and length Froude number An.
