Abstract
Consider a floating body, possibly flexible, which floats on the surface of an infinitely deep ocean of infinite extent in the presence of surface waves. We are concerned with the case where the body motions and wave heights are small and the fluid medium is incompressible, of constant density, inviscid, and irrotational. The goal is determination of a finite-dimensional, linear time-invariant (FDLTI) representation for the mapping from (transient) wave motion to body motion. Such a description is a basis for simulation but is also a necessary prelude to control system design.
