OSCILLATION OF CYLINDERS IN OR BELOW THE FREE SURFACE OF DEEP FLUIDS

Abstract

The subject of cylinders oscillating in or below the free surface of very deep fluids is developed as a boundary value problem within the framework of linear free-surface theory by distributing source singularities over the submerged portion of the cylinders. A computer program for calculating the hydrodynamic pressure, force, and moment of fluids on these cylinders was devised. The results for various two-dimensional shapes are given in graphical form.
