Mw k ieitS( D I) ijkrinjdS(46)3.3.3 Radiation ProblemThe radiation problem considers a body oscillating via an external force in calm water. Asthe body enters the water, a wave is radiated. The radiation force per unit amplitude in the i thcomponent due to the motion in the j th direction is:FRii t iejjnidS(47)S jRecall that the body boundary condition for the radiation potential may be written as:iin non SSurge, heave, and pitch, are denoted by i and j=1, 3 and 5. Thus, Eq. (47) may be rewrittenas:FRii t i iejjdS(48)nS jwhere, Eq. (48) may be rewritten in terms of the complex force in the i th direction due tomotion of unit amplitude in the j th direction (Newman, 1977):FRi i te jfij (49) jLet,fiji2 ( i) jdS Mij iB(50)ijnSUjit ije (51)46
