Abstract
INFLUENCE OF WAVE-CURRENT INTERACTIONS ON FLUID FORCE ON A SINGLE CYLINDER AND ON TWO CYLINDERS IN TANDEM IS EXAMINED.QUANTITIES OBTAINED ARE SPECTRA OF FLUID FORCE ON ELEMENTS, TOTAL FLUID FORCE AND ITS STATICAL MOMENT.COMPARISONS ARE MADE OF THE CASES IN WHICH WAVE-CURRENT INTERACTIONS ARE CONSIDERED AND IGNORED.IT IS SHOWN THAT INTERACTIONS AFFECT SPECTRA OF ELEMENT FORCE AND STATICAL MOMENT MORE THAN DO TOTAL FORCE SPECTRUM.FOR TWO CYLINDERS IN TANDEM, FOR CYLINDER SPACINGS, CURRENT CONDITIONS AND FREQUENCY RANGE OF PRACTICAL INTEREST, THE EFFECT OF INTERACTIONS IS SLIGHTLY REDUCED.(A).
