AbstractTwo of the most promising localized finite element methods are compared: the boundary series element method, in which a series of eigenfunctions is used to represent the far field solution; and the boundary integral element method, in which an integral equation is satisfied at the boundary between localized finite element and outer regions. The methods are applied to water of arbitrary depth. The theory of the two methods is summarized, and typical numerical results are discussed. Consideration is given to the well‐known hydrodynamical reciprocal relations, and to the phenomenon of ‘irregular’ frequencies. The relative merits of the two methods are established.
