Abstract
The virtual mass of circular cylinders immersed in a uniformly stratified nonhomogeneous fluid medium has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The experimental equipment consisted of a reservoir filled with one inch thick layers of salt water solution. The density uniformly decreased with elevation (stable stratification). The fluid motion about the cylinder was provided by the standing waves created with a plunger. The resulting velocities and accelerations about the cylinder were harmonic. The theoretical analysis consisted of the calculation of the inertia coefficient through the evaluation of the total kinetic energy of the fluid medium. Use was made of the psuedopotential flow solution for the stratified flow about a circular cylinder. The results have shown that the inertia coefficient for circular cylinders immersed in a uniformly stratified media is about 25% larger than that for a cylinder immersed in an homogeneous medium.

    Added mass of a circular cylinder under a free surface 

    Gosselin, Richard Leon (Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971-12);
    When a circular cylinder is immersed in a fluid of infinite extent and oscillated in such a manner that drag effects are negligible, it is well known that the closed form solution gives an added mass coefficient of 1.0. ...

    Forces on cylinders oscillating in water 

    Driscoll, John Robert, Jr. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-12);
    A circular cylinder immersed in an infinite fluid and oscillated perpendicular to its axis is acted upon by a fluid dynamic force. This force is generally considered to be composed of two components, a drag and an added ...

    Hydrodynamic Loads Induced By Earthquakes 

    Garrison, C.J.; Berklite, R.B. (1972);
    When bottom mounted structures of large displacement are immersed in the sea. earthquake induced hydrodynamic loads may become important design factors. Specifically, as the earth oscillates, a bottom mounted structure is ...
