... carried out an analysis of a flow around a circular cylinder in an oscillatory flow at R-=1000 and K==5 and 7 using the finite difference method and showed qualitative agreement with observations. Objective of this paper is to accurately simulate instantaneous unsteady flow field around an oscillating circular cylinder and to estimate hydrodynamic forces acting on the circular cylinder quantitatively at R-=10000 and Kc=sm10 .

... In order to use the present computational scheme as a practical tool, we must determine the validity of it. We compare the computed results with the analytical solutions and examine effects of total number of grid points, minimum grid size, time increment, and the Reynolds number on the computed results.

... Here it should be noted that the Morison equation assumes an odd-harmonic in-line force, neglects higher frequency components and cannot express the experimental data in the range of K==8m 25. The first assumption means that the flow field repeats every half period of the oscillation.
From page 320...
... The peak value in the first half period is lower than that in the last half period. It means that the Morison equation can not express the experimental data well in this range of Kc as pointed out by Sarpkaya, who says that the range is 8

... Solutions for the flow around an oscillating circular cylinder at R-=10000 and K==5,7 and 10 are obtained by the direct calculation of the Navier-Stokes equations using bodyfitted coordinates system, moving mesh technique, and the MAC method. The results are in excellent agreement with published experimental data quantitatively.
