Transient fluid motion due to the forced horizontal oscillations of a vertical cylinder P. Mclver Department of Mathematieal Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leics, UK, LEI1 3TU
(Received 20 June 1994) The problem of the forced horizontal oscillations of a vertical cylinder extending throughout the fluid depth is considered on the basis of the linearised theory of water waves. A new integral form is given for the frequency-domainsolution and the procedure is then used to obtain an explicit time-domain solution. condition, the reverse situation to the conventional approach. Eigenfunctions that satisfy the body condition are combined to satisfy the free-surface condition. This approach to the frequency-domain analysis was suggested by the standard approach to time-domain problems which employs what is essentially the same construction. The result of this frequency-domain analysis is a form of the solution in which the frequency appears explicitly allowing solutions in the time domain to be obtained analytically by the Fourier transform. For completeness, the same procedure is then used in the time domain to obtain solutions directly without reference to the Fourier transform of the frequencydomain solution. Finally, for the purposes of illustration, a solution is given for the particular case of a cylinder moving under a sinusoidal force after the fluid is initially at rest. The vertical circular cylinder is of radius a and extends throughout water of constant depth h. Cylindrical polar coordinates (r, 0, z) are chosen with the origin of z in the mean free surface, and z directed vertically upwards, and the origin of (r, 0) being the cylinder axis. The cylinder is forced to perform horizontal oscillations, with a prescribed time-dependent velocity, in the direction 0 -- 0. Under the usual assumptions of the linearised theory of water waves the motion may be described by a velocity potential satisfying Laplace's equation throughout the fluid domain.
1 INTRODUCTION Within the context of the linearised theory of water waves, there is a small number of geometries for which explicit analytical solutions are possible. One such geometry is a vertical cylinder extending throughout the depth of the fluid and this paper is concerned with the wave field resulting from the forced horizontal motion of this type of cylinder. The solution in the frequency domain is usually expressed in terms of an infinite series (Dean & Dalrymple, 1 Section 6.4) and solutions in the time domain may then be obtained with the aid of the Fourier transform. However, this series form of the frequency-domain solution contains the frequency only implicitly through the solutions of the dispersion relation and so the Fourier transform must be carried out numerically. The main result of the present work is an integral form for the time-domain solution corresponding to an impulsive motion of the cylinder. This may be used to construct time-domain solutions for more general motions of the cylinder without the need for numerical transforms between the frequency and time domains. To illustrate the solution procedure, in what is perhaps a more familiar context, a new integral form for the frequency-domain solution is first obtained. In the conventional frequency-domain solution procedure, eigenfunctions are constructed that satisfy the homogeneous free-surface condition and then these are combined to satisfy the non-homogeneous body boundary condition. Here, the infinite-frequency limit of the solution is first subtracted out which leads to a new boundary-value problem with a non-homogeneous free-surface condition and a homogeneous body

In contrast to 4), which must satisfy a homogeneous free-surface condition and a non-homogeneous body boundary condition, the new potential ~ is required to satisfy a non-homogeneous free-surface condition and a homogeneous body boundary condition. The solution proceeds by separation of variables, first noting that the body boundary condition is satisfied identically by

where and k0 = - i k . When combined with the infinitefrequency solution 9t this gives the 'well-known' form of the frequency-domain solution for radiation by a cylinder as presented in Section 6.4 of Dean & Dalrymple. 1 For the purpose of obtaining solutions in the time domain by Fourier transform, the advantage of (27) is that the frequency appears explicitly through K = w2/g. In the form (28), the frequency appears only implicitly through the solutions of (29).

and shifting the path of integration into the upper half of the complex q plane by allowing q to have a small positive imaginary part. The limiting behaviour arises from the poles on the real axis while the remaining part of the integral decays to zero as t ~ oc. The details are straightforward but messy and so are omitted here. The solution found above may be used, for example, to calculate the free-surface elevation at an arbitrary point or the hydrodynamic force on the cylinder.
