NUMERICAL CALCULATION OF THE ADDED MASS AND DAMPING COEFFICIENTS OF CYLINDERS OSCILLATING IN OR BELOW A FREE SURFACE

The computer program presented herein provides values of the added mass and damping coefficients of infinitely long horizontal cylinders oscillating in or below a free surface. The report includes the theoretical background, the general structure, the details of the input and output schemes, and the program listing. (Author)
