Abstract

We consider the fluid flow induced when free-surface travelling waves pass over a submerged circular cylinder. The wave amplitude is assumed to be small, and a suitably defined Reynolds number large, so that perturbation methods may be employed. Particular attention is focused on the steady streaming motion, which induces circulation about the cylinder. The viscous forces acting on the cylinder are calculated and compared with the pressure forces which are solely responsible for the loading on the cylinder in a purely inviscid flow.
