Evaluation of added mass and damping coefficient of an oscillating circular cylinder
M. Rahman,Dambaru Bhatta +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical solution to the velocity potential that governs the linear radiation problem is described, and a comparison with the available experimental data is made to determine the close form solutions for the added mass and damping coefficient of a large surfacepiercing and bottom-mounted vertical circular cylinder under-going horizontal oscillations in the surge (or sway) motion.

Second-order diffraction loads on truncated cylinders
A.G. Abul-Azm,A.N. Williams +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a solution for the hydrodynamic loading on a stationary, truncated circular cylinder in water of arbitrary uniform depth is presented, where two situations are considered: the structure may either be completely submerged and resting on the seabed or partially immersed in the free surface.

Study on dynamic characteristics of coupled model for deep-water lifting system
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled model of deep-water lifting systems in vertical direction is employed to provide a theoretical basis for the heave compensation system, and the simulation results show that the resonance problem appears in the process of the whole releasing load, the lifting system generates resonance and the displacement response of the lifting load is maximal when the sinking depth is about 2000 m.

Hydrodynamic force coefficients for rectangular cylinders in waves and currents
TL;DR: In this paper, three cylinders with three different cross-sections are constructed and tested vertically, as surface piercing and horizontally, as fully submerged with the cylinder axis parallel to the wave crests.
