| Abstract | The characteristics of buoy motions such as heaving, swaying and rolling due to waves can be analyzed to some degree based on the
potential flow theory. But t he magnitudes of buoy motions around the resonance condition cannot be evaluated by such a theory where inviscid fluid is assumed. In this study, it is attempted t o introduce the effect of fluid viscosity or the drag force into the potential
theory in order to analyze the motions of a circular cylindrical buoy. Based on the newly developed method, computations are carried out
for various conditions. The results thus calculated show much better agreements with the experimental values in comparison with those given
by the previous potential theory. |
