The Kochin function \mathbf{H}(\tau) is given by


\mathbf{H}(\tau)=\iint_{\Gamma_s}\left( -\frac{\delta\phi}{\delta n}
+ \phi\frac{\delta}{\delta n}\right)  e^{kz}e^{ik(x\cos\tau
+y\sin\tau)}\mathrm{d}S,

where δ / δn is the inward normal derivative, φ is the velocity potential and Γs is the wetted body surface.

Many physical parameters, such as the Scattered Wave in Three-Dimensions, the Radiated Energy in Three-Dimensions, and the Wave Forces in Three-Dimensions can be calculated from the Kochin Function.
