Lecture Notes on Heaving of a Bouy in Regular Waves,

Abstract

The equation of motion is derived for a cylindrical buoy heaving in regular waves. An explicit solution is then obtained in terms of wave amplitude. This simple case is presented as an introduction to the study of the more complex problem of the coupled pitch-heave motion of a ship in waves. (Author)
