Title: Hydrodynamic force on a moving circular cylinder submerged in a general fluid flow
Abstract: This paper develops an expression for the fluid loading on a circular cylinder due to classical inviscid, irrotational and incompressible flow. The cylinder has an arbitrary rigid body movement, and the fluid, and in the absence of the cylinder, has an arbitrary flow pattern, subject only to the requirement that the length scale over which the flow changes is sufficiently large compared with the dimensions of the cylinder cross-section that only velocities and velocity gradients need be considered. The result is intended to be used as the ‘inertia’ force component of wave loading on the cylindrical members of offshore structures in the conventional Morison’s Equation formulation, and as such it differs significantly from that currently in use.
