Abstract
A two-dimensional unsteady hydroelastic problem of interaction between surface waves and a moving vertical wall fixed on springs is studied. An analytical solution of the problem is constructed using a linear approximation, and a numerical solution within the framework of a nonlinear model of a potential fluid flow is found by a complex boundary element method. By means of analysis of the linear and nonlinear solutions, it is found that the linear solution can be used to predict some important characteristics of the wall motion and the fluid flow in the case of moderate wave amplitudes.
