Motivation
Stable numerical schemes for free surface gravity water waves
are useful in the areas of offshore and marine engineering.
· Applications:
Determine wave loads and wave resistance on ships and
offshore structures.
Control wave generation in a model basin with our nu-
merical tool (Figure 1).
Study the wave induced motion on ships and offshore
structures (Figure 2).

Aim
To develop a stable numerical method for free surface gravity
water waves of a potential flow model using discontinuous
