... The computational domain cannot be infinite, so we Have to introduce artificial boundaries and proper boundary conditions. In the literature several methods Have been proposed to absorb free surface waves.
From page 179...
... Discretization of the integral equation leads to a matrix equation for the unknown vector ~ with superscripts denoting the time level and f a time- dependent vector. The matrices Di are built up by the Green's function, its derivative and the surface conditions.

... Also the calculations of the hydrodynamic coefficients and drift forces of a commercial tanker agreed well with measurements. The forward speed of the commercial tanker is very low, the maximum Froude number is 0.018, i.e.

... drift force calculations for zero and small forward speed were done, using the frequency domain diffraction program, extended to a small forward speed t12~. Calculations for the other velocities were done using strip theory t1, 2~.

... In Figure 32 the drift forces or added resistance for higher speed are given. For the higher frequency strip theory doesn't agree very well with the measurements.
