The fully non‐linear free surface potential flow past a 2D non‐lifting body is computed. The numerical method is based on the simple layer integral formulation; the non‐linear solution is obtained by means of an iterative procedure. Under some hypotheses, viscosity effects at the free surface are considered. All the numerical results obtained have been tested against analytical solutions and experimental results.
