Wave Forces on Cylinders near Plane Boundaries

Abstract
Wave forces on a horizontal circular cylinder were experimentally measured to determine the influence of a plane boundary (e/D), water particle displacement (A/D), and water depth (h/D) on these forces. The transition from potential flow conditions to real flow conditions is considered. The variation of force coefficients of inertia, lift, and drag with respect to e/D, A/D, and h/D is identified.
