... It allows evaluation of preliminary designs or ship performance at a relatively low cost compared with experimental tests. Strip theory was applied as the first analytical ship motion theory for computations and has been used as a practical prediction method, but it gives unsatisfactory predictions at low frequencies and at high forward speeds, and it is not applicable to ships of low length-beam ratios due to its 1 slender body assumptions.

... They applied the panel-free method to the radiation and the diffraction problems of a hemisphere. Computed response functions, added mass and damping coefficients showed excellent agreement with published results by the analytical solution and the panel method.

... Figure 2 shows the computed heave and pitch response functions at a time step dt = 0.25s using 6x21 and 6x25 Gaussian points on the hull represented by NURBS surfaces. In order to investigate the convergence of the computation, lOx30 Gaussian points were also applied on the analytically represented surface.

... The computed radiation and diffraction response functions, hydrodynamic coefficients and wave exciting forces for the Wigley hull agree well with published results. The oscillatory error of the memory function at large time tends to be reduced by PFM in comparison with the panel method.

... AUTHORS' REPLY The irregular frequencies shown in the computed obtained by Fourier transform of the response function computed in the time domain. They were due to the oscillation of the response added mass and damping coefficients in the frequency domain were function in the time domain, particularly at large time.
