This paper presents an examination of the numerical characteristics of the time domain matching direct boundary element method, which is based on the three dimensional potential flow theories, to solve the numerical divergence problem of the time domain Green function method for calculating hydrodynamics of the non?sided?wall floating body. The control matching surface was introduced to flow field to decompose the flow field into the inner and outer domains. The simple Green function direct boundary element method was employed in the inner domain, and the time domain Green function method, which satisfies the linearized free surface condition, was applied in the outer domain. The time domain hydrodynamics of floating body was calculated. The results show the present method can transmit disturbing waves with high efficiency, and produce stable numerical results for longer simula?tions. Furthermore, based on the same grid model, the present approach can accurately evaluate the hydrodynam
