Abstract
Over the last decades the study of water waves diffraction and radiation problems, especially in offshore structures has interested many researchers. The problem is sometimes solved by using the finite element method as shown by Newton [1]; Berkhoff [2]; Bai [3]; Yue, Chen and Mei [4], and more recently Zienkiewicz and Bettess [5]. Alternatively boundary integral equations have been used as illustrated by the work of Garrison [6]; Hogben and Standing [7]; Eatock-Taylor [8] and Isaacson [9].
