Abstract
The application of the BEM to the determination of forces acting on rigid bodies in Stokes or potential flows is considered analytically, with a focus on errors due to nonconformity of the elements to the shape of the body. The implications of the theory developed by Hill and Power (1956) are explored, and the derivation of the Stokes resistance tensors and hydrodynamic inertia tensors is given in detail.
