Abstract We present a numerical scheme which deals with a three-dimensional solution for the radiation and diffraction of a submerged spheroid advancing in ocean waves. We assume that the fluid is inviscid and incompressible, and the fluid motion is irrotational. With these assumptions, there exists a velocity potential which satisfies Laplace's equation. The two boundary integral methods, mixed and source models, with the Green's diffraction-radiation function satisfying the Neumann-Kelvin linearized free-surface condition are used to compute the hydrodynamic forces acting on a spheroid. The wetted body surface is descretized into a number of small panels and in
