From page 513...
... It is shown numerically and analytically how problems with the mjterms can be avoided. Numerical results for horizontal and vertical mean wave forces on floating vertical cylinders of finite length are presented.

... , a non-dimensionalized frequency of oscillation, the roughness ratio and the ratio between the current velocity U and the maximum horizontal oscillatory ambient fluid velocity UM in the current direction. Obviously the flow will always separate from a body with sharp corners in any type of ambient flow.
From page 515...
... An example on calculations of the real part of the velocity potential due to a harmonically oscillating source satisfying either free surface condition (11)
From page 516...
... arise because the steady motion potential does not satisfy the body boundary condition on the instantaneous body surface correct to °((a) The derivation is based on a Taylor expansion, which means the formulation is breaks down at sharp corners.
From page 517...
... . When we have solved the equations of the first order motions, we can find the mean wave forces and moments correctly to o((a2)
From page 518...
... By time averaging equation (21) , assuming that SO is a horizontal plane at great depth and using boundary condition on S it follows that the mean wave drift forces can be written F = -p || ( ~ n + V V )
From page 519...
... . The mean wave forces can also be obtained by using direct pressure integration.
From page 520...
... nj ds (28) This formula is valid for a body without sharp corners, wall-sided at the free surface and when As satisfies the rigid free surface condition.
From page 521...
... What we have done now is to analytically isolate the difficulties with the mj-terms. This procedure is also valid when ship motions at forward speed is evaluated.

From page 524...
... A method to calculate mean wave forces based on conservation of fluid momentum is presented. It is demonstrated that a direct pressure integration method can lead to large errors in prediction of mean wave forces when the body has sharp corners.

... 3) The authors experienced some problems even for the zero speed case in determining the wave drift forces based on the pressure integration, because of the presence of sharp corners.
From page 527...
... If one should calculate the wave drift damping coefficient that is proportional to the slow drift velocity, the two approaches should be equal. However if one want to study wave current interaction and in particular the wave elevations around the structure, the two different approaches are different.
