Solving the Boundary Value Problem for a Moving Pressure Point -Timman, Hermans and Hsiao
Since we want to look at water waves on a calm surface, we are going to examine the problem for small amplitudes. The linearized problem is defined by Laplaces equation:
Fxx + Fyy + Fzz = 0
where: Fy = 0 at y = -h
and U2 Fxx + 2 UFxt +Ftt + gFy =0 at y=0
In the moving object or moving pressure point we need to use the Fourier or Laplace transform method to help us find a solution. The boundary value problem for the moving pressure point can be formulated as follows:
Fxx + Fyy + Fzz = 0
where: Fxx +Fy = 0 at y = 0, x and z cannot = 0
and F is finite as y approaches infinity.
We look for a simple solution in a steady flow, for which everywhere at y=0 except at x = z =0 the pressure vanishes. Eventually, we would like to find a solution of this boundary value problem in the form of a Fourier integral in x:
F(x,y,z)= (2{pi})-1 int[-oo to oo] e-iax F(a, y, z) da
where F(a,y,z)= integral e -iax F(x,y,z) dx
Thus, the boundary value problem for G(x,y,z) is:
Gyy + Gzz - a2G= 0
where: -a2G + Gy = 0 at y = 0
and G is finite as y approaches infinity
This has the solution:
G= ea2y f(z)
Where F(z) safisfies the equation:
(a4 - a2)f+fzz= 0
Thus, there is a solution which looks like:
F(x,y,z)= A (2{pi})-1 int[-oo to oo] exp {-iax +a2y +ia(a2-1)1/2z}da
The free surface elevation is:
h(x,z)= Ai(2{pi}U)-1 lim(y goes to 0) int[-oo to oo] {aexp (a2y) exp (-i(ax +a(a2-1)1/2z)}da
The phase of the wave is very important. The phase of the wave is given by:
Y= -ax + (cos s)-1(a2-1)1/2z
