A Representation of Fluid Forces for Use in Finite Segment Cable Models.

Abstract

The finite segment modelling of a long flexible cable is discussed. An equivalent force system representing the fluid and gravitational forces exerted on a typical cable segment is determined. The fluid forces include inertia, drag, and hydrostatic (buoyancy) forces. Application of the results in computer algorithm development is also discussed. (Author)
