The paper deals with the application of the so-called “frameless” Trefftz-type finite elements to the calculation of diffraction loads on an isolated vertical cylinder with a rectangular cross section. The method is based on the use of a suitable truncated T-complete set of Trefftz functions over individual sub domains linked by means of a least square procedure. The vertex singularities and the Sommerfeld radiation condition are readily incorporated in the trial functions. In order to show the performance of the approach examples of computations of the diffraction loads are presented and compared to those obtained with BEM.
