Abstract

A linearized theory is developed for the oscillations of a slender body which is floating on the free surface of an ideal fluid, in the presence of incident plane progressive waves. Green's theorem is used to represent the velocity potential and the first-order slender-body potential is developed from asymptotic approximation. The general theory is valid for arbitrary slender bodies in oblique waves, and detailed results are presented for a body of revolution.
