Title: HYDRODYNAMIC FORCES ACTING ON A HORIZONTAL CIRCULAR CYLINDER WITH AN INCLINED ANGLE TO THE WAVE CREST IN REGULAR WAVES
Abstract: Hydrodynamic forces acting on an inclined circular cylinder oscillating sinusoidally in still water and a horizontal circular cylinder with an inclined angle to the wave crests in regular deep water waves were experimentally investigated in low Kc number condition (Kc<5). The results of force measurements of the oscillating cylinder showed that the drag force and the lift force are negligible, and the dominant added mass coefficient is independent of the inclined angle and are in good agreement with the potential value. From the force measurements of the horizontally submerged circular cylinder with an inclined angle to the wave crests, it was found that the reduction of the intertia coefficient due to viscous effect decreases by increasing the inclined angle.
