... at the regular wave series of various sel- center of the cylinder. Reynolds ected heights and periods with model number and period parameter based located at different elevations with on cylinder diameter and contact respect to mean water level. Re- velocity were computed for each cordings were made of vertical...

... to such variables as instantaneous Reynolds number, period parameter, and d//VT. The force is not decomposed into drag and inertia components, but is represented as a continuous function of the previously mentioned parameters. The idea is to determine how the acceleration affects the force. Considerable deviation...

... on two small sections of a 3-inch tube at different orientations are measured in an experiment in a wave tank. The hydrodynamic coefficients, CM and Co are calculated by a least square fit to the measured in-line forces. The coefficients are shown to depend on the period parameter without large scatter...
