TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a theoretical investigation into the response of a spherical particle to a one-dimensional fluid flow, and the motion of the spherical particle in a uniform 2D fluid flow about a circular cylinder.
Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical investigation into (i) the response of a spherical particle to a one-dimensional fluid flow, (ii) the motion of a spherical particle in a uniform two-dimensional fluid flow about a circular cylinder and (iii) the motion of a particle about a lifting aerofoil section. In all three cases the drag of the particle is allowed to vary with (instantaneous) Reynolds number by using an analytical approximation to the standard experimental drag-Reynolds-number relationship for spherical particles.

TL;DR: The theory and equations for the scattering pattern of a dielectric cylinder of arbitrary cross-section shape were developed in this paper, where the harmonic incident wave was assumed to have its electric vector parallel with the axis of the cylinder, and the field intensities were assumed to be independent of distance along the axis.
Abstract: The theory and equations are developed for the scattering pattern of a dielectric cylinder of arbitrary cross section shape. The harmonic incident wave is assumed to have its electric vector parallel with the axis of the cylinder, and the field intensities are assumed to be independent of distance along the axis. Solutions are readily obtained for inhomogeneous cylinders when the permittivity is independent of distance along the cylinder axis. Although other investigators have approximated the field within the dielectric body by the incident field, we treat the total field as an unknown function which is determined by solving a system of linear equations. In the case of the dielectric cylindrical shell of circular cross section, this technique yields results which agree accurately with the exact classical solution. Scattering patterns are also presented in graphical form for a dielectric shell of semicircular cross section, a thin homogeneous plane dielectric sheet of finite width, and an inhomogeneous plane sheet. The effects of surface-wave excitation and mutual interaction among the various portions of the dielectric shell are included automatically in this solutiom

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment.
Abstract: This work discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment. The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. Attention is paid to the special case of a circular cylinder. The development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are also investigated. The book is intended for MSc students with some experience in basic fluid mechanics and for PhD students.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the nature of oscillations in a magnetic cylinder embedded in magnetic environment and showed that the standard slender flux tube analysis of a kink mode in a cylinder excludes the possibility of a second mode, which arises under photospheric conditions.
Abstract: The nature of oscillations in a magnetic cylinder embedded in a magnetic environment is investigated. It is shown that the standard slender flux tube analysis of a kink mode in a cylinder excludes the possibility of a second mode, which arises under photospheric conditions. Under coronal conditions, two widely separated classes of oscillation can be freely sustained, one on an acoustic time-scale and the other on an Alfvenic time-scale. The acoustic-type oscillations are always present, but the much shorter period, Alfvenic-type, oscillations arise only in high density (strictly, low Alfven velocity) loops. An application to waves in fibrils is also given, and suggests (following Wentzel, 1979) that they are fast kink waves propagating in a density enhancement.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of the plane free surface is investigated theoretically when the vessel is a vertical cylinder with a horizontal base, and the liquid is an ideal frictionless fluid making a constant angle of contact of 90° with the walls of the vessel.
Abstract: A vessel containing a heavy liquid vibrates vertically with constant frequency and amplitude. It has been observed that for some combinations of frequency and amplitude standing waves are formed at the free surface of the liquid, while for other combinations the free surface remains plane. In this paper the stability of the plane free surface is investigated theoretically when the vessel is a vertical cylinder with a horizontal base, and the liquid is an ideal frictionless fluid making a constant angle of contact of 90° with the walls of the vessel. When the cross-section of the cylinder and the frequency and amplitude of vibration of the vessel are prescribed, the theory predicts that the m th mode will be excited when the corresponding pair of parameters (p m , q m ) lies in an unstable region of the stability chart; the surface is stable if none of the modes is excited. (The corresponding frequencies are also shown on the chart.) The theory explains the disagreement between the experiments of Faraday and Rayleigh on the one hand, and of Matthiessen on the other. An experiment was made to check the application of the theory to a real fluid (water). The agreement was satisfactory; the small discrepancy is ascribed to wetting effects for which no theoretical estimate could be given.
