A comprehensive set of theoretical added masses and wave damping data for a floating circular cylinder in finite-depth water is presented. The hydrodynamic problem is solved by matching eigen functions of the interior and exterior problems. The resulting infinite system is solved directly and found to have excellent truncation characteristics. Added mass and damping are given for heave, sway, and roll motion, as well as coupling coefficients for sway and roll. It is shown that the heave added mass is logarithmic singular and the damping approaches a constant in the low-frequency limit. Transition of the behaviour in finite-depth water to deep water is also discussed.
Haskind's relation iv, one could deduce the damping coefficient from the published exciting forces, and with the use of the Kramers-Kronig relation (39 below) further calculate the added mass, provided that the infinitefrequency added mass were known. This is generally too much of a handicap for the practitioners. Because of the axi-symmetry of the geometry, the problem can be treated simply by the use of eigen functions alone. Extensive use of this technique has already been made by Hilaly 1°, Miles and Gilbert 16, Garrett 7 and Black et al. 4. The formulation described below follows closely that of Garrett, but the presentation, viewpoint, and solution are different. Garrett developed the expressions of the interior and exterior problems in terms of the potential at the common boundary, and match the normal derivatives together. In this work, the interior problem and exterior problem was treated as a Dirichlet and Neumann type, respectively, as if the conditions on the common boundary were known. By introducing expressions of the complementary region in the boundary condition, the matching is automatically completed. In this manner, the coupling of the coefficients of the two sets of eigen functions can also be seen very clearly. This approach apparently has not been taken by previous workers. All three types of radiation problems, heave, sway, and roll can be treated on a common platform. It should be pointed out that in Black's work 4 the farfield solutions of the radiation problems, which were solved by a variational formulation, were actually used to obtain the exciting forces by Haskind's relation, but no direct results on the radiation forces themselves were presented. Radiation forces for submerged circular cylinders were obtained recently by Tung 18, who solved for the flux at the common boundary before computing the coefficients of the eigen functions. The present procedure yields these coefficients directly. Of particular interest in the results shown is that the heave added mass is logarithmic singular, the nondimensional damping coefficient (non-dimensionalized in the standard way with the frequency in the denominator)
