This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment. The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. Special attention is paid to circular cylinder. The development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are also investigated.
Flow around a circular cylinder is a classical topic within hydrodynamics.
Since the rapid expansion of the offshore industry in the sixties, the knowledge of
this kind of flow has also attracted considerable attention from many mechanical
and civil engineers working in the offshore field. |
