Experimental study of hydrodynamic forces on a surging circular cylinder in still water and in regular waves

For a moored semisubmersible platform, the hydrodynamic viscous damping on slender members is essential for the prediction of platform motions in resonant slow-drift oscillations. This study presents an experimental study of hydrodynamic forces acting on a slowly surging vertical circular cylindrica...
