Abstract
Generalized vortex methods are applied to the study of free surface motion in incompressible, irrotational, inviscid, layered flows in which waves are generated by external means, such as the motion of submerged bodies. Radiation conditions are developed that allow outward-traveling waves to escape the computational domain without significant reflection. Numerical sponge layers are used to absorb outward-traveling waves. Applications are given to wave generation by surface pressure distributions and by translating submerged bodies.
