... This paper proposes an analytic method to solve the wave diffraction problem on the vertical cylinder with the cross-section of arbitrary shape by using conformal transformation. The derivation solution was formulated in this paper, and results were compared with those of numerical methods...

... ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the inline force and bow wave height on a surface-piercing vertical cylinder moving at a constant forward speed in calm water and in waves. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model has been developed using Caelus ® open source code. A stationary mesh...

... Abstract A finite volume method based Cartesian grids is adopted to solve the Navier-Stokes equations using Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation turbulence model with OpenFOAM for the study the 3D evolution as a large depression internal solitary wave propagates across a vertical cylinder...

... model on wave-current force and run-up on a bottom-mounted vertical cylinder and a complex bridge pier are carried out. INTRODUCTION The problem of wave-current interaction with bodies has been widely studied in the frequency domain (Grue and Palm, 1985; Wu and Eatock Taylor, 1987; Matsui et al, 1991...

... on the diffracted waves. MacCamy and Fuchs (1954) derived a closed form solution to determine the wave Induced pressures, forces, moments on a fixed vertical cylinder and the diffracted wave field In its vicinity due to the action of monochromatic waves in a constant water depth. Several researchers, notably, Jen...

... for the second-order force on an articulated vertical cylinder. Results from the model tests on a circular dock are also presented to validate the theoretical predictions. INTRODUCTION The wave loads acting on floating structures in irregular seas include the second-order, high- and low-frequency force...

... disturbance. In the context of second order problem, a lot of papers have been published previously [1-5, 7-13]. However, even for the wave diffraction against a vertical cylinder, many solutions of second order problem obtained by different authors exhibit obvious differences, which are partly affected...
