โฆ Synopsis
Previous work on the scattering of an incident wave field by an array of fixed vertical cylinders is extended to calculate the added-mass and damping coefficients for an array of floating axisymmetric bodies. The method is based upon a large spacing approximation where diverging waves are replaced by plane waves. It is shown that, given the scattering and radiation properties of a single body, the interaction effects within an array can be calculated both simply and accurately.

The wave diffraction and radiation problem is studied numerically by using a higher-order boundary element method. The convergence of the higher-order boundary element method is tested systematically for bodies of different shapes. For the second-order force, particular attention is paid to the cont
