Summary Boundary element methods are used in numerous engineering and physical applications, including solving the fully nonlinear two dimensional water wave equation. It is often used because it is more efficient than methods that require the discretization of the entire computational domain as the BEM requires only the discretization of the boundary. There are, however, many different methods used. This paper details one method in particular, the cubic mid-interval interpolation method. A Fortran program based on the cubic mid-interval interpolation method is being worked on, and it is hoped that once completed, it will be able to solve the water wave equation efficiently and accurately. The results will then be compared to various asymptotical models such as the Camassa-Holm equation.
