The impulsive motion of a small cylinder at an interface

We study the unsteady motion caused by an impulse acting at time t=0 on a small cylinder floating horizontally at a liquid-gas interface. This is a model for the impact of a cylinder onto a liquid surface after the initial splash. Following the impulse, the motion of the cylinder is determined by it...
