The boundary integral equation method constitutes the basis of a number of computer programs used for the solution of wave-obstacle interaction problems. For the case of obstacles in a constant depth fluid, the method assumes that the velocity potential at any point in the fluid may be represented by a distribution of Green's function sources over the immersed surface of the obstacle. Application of the obstacle kinematic boundary condition gives rise to an integral equation which may be solved, using numerical discretization, for the unknown source strength distribution function. Subsequent evaluation of the discretized velocity potential permits evaluation of the hydrodynamic interaction parameters.A series of numerical solutions have been carried out for a range of substantially rectangular obstacles, in a two-dimensional domain, using varying levels of immersed profile discretization. The results, presented in the form of fixed and floating mode wave reflection and transmission, together with the motion response of the floating obstacle, demonstrate the significant sensitivity of the evaluated parameters to variations in the level of discretization.
