... = ~ where p is the gravity acceleration and y axis is di rected vertically upwards The maximum Brunt Vnisaln frequency for n given density distribution over depth defines the upper cut fl frequency for in ternal w e effects Thus, in contrast with infinite frequency spectrum of surface waves, the frequency spectrum of internal w wes is finite Moreover, when the oscillation frequency of n body is I wer, equal or higher than the buoyancy frequency, the equations of fluid motion are of hyperbolic, parabolic or elliptic type, respectively, what, once gain, is in contrast with free surface problems which are described by the Lnplace equation The major part of the stud ies on the body oscillations in continuously strut idled fluid is pe formed within the model of ideal, uniform :, strntifled (the Brunt Vnisaln frequency is assumed to be constant) , Boussinesq fluid of ink nite extent in particular, the tim~domnin analy sis of damped oscillations of n sphere and circular cylinder is given in Larsen (1969b)

... Foil wing this approach, we make use of experi mental records of damped oscillations of n cylinder (impulse response functions) in fluid and Fourier transform the problem from time to frequency domain in order to evaluate the frequency dependent added mass and damping coefi cient Let us assume that n 5: d:, pe forming small oscil lotions in n continuously stratified fluid can be ide Sized as n linear sy tem it is well kn wn that, once the response of any stable linear system to n unit impulse r(t)

... To prevent the reflection of waves at the ends of the test tank, we used two types of wave-absorbing devices. In the case of linear stratification the wave energy of incident internal waves was effectively dissipated by perforated flat plates installed parallel to the end of the test tank.

To study the whole frequency range of interest, it is necessary to perform n series of experiments for n set of his and match the results at n common plot so that the data obt .=- d at different his overlap The variation of his can be easy attained -- variation of the restoring force coed cient c THEORETICAL ANALYSIS It is assumed that the :=-_ :d incompressible fluid occupies the region x < co, No < y = y+EI~ < Elf and there are three Inters: homogeneous upper and low r ones and n linearly stratified middle one Thus, density stratification in an undisturbed tat p(y) takes the form P(Y)

... Numerical results for the added mass coefficient Cll shown in Figs.3, 5 seem to capture well the main experimentally observed effects at Q > 1. However, at low Q the behavior of numerical and experimental data is quite different.

... CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this report presents the first experimental and numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic loads acting on a 2-D body oscillating in a continuously stratified fluid of limited depth. The density stratification is shown to have a strong effect on the frequency-dependent hydrodynamic coefficients (added mass and damping)
