We present an efficient higher order panel method for the numerical simulation of nonlinear gravity waves. The method is based on a Green’s formulation for the velocity potential that is introduced under the assumptions of an ideal fluid and an irrotational flow. This panel method gives accurate results for both linear and highly nonlinear waves. Test results are shown for a highly nonlinear Stokes wave and an overturning sinusoidal wave.
