Added Mass

tex2html_wrap557

U(t) is a function of time

What is the force acting on body?

tex2html_wrap559

tex2html_wrap_inline551 Suppose body is replaced by fluid:

eqnarray128

tex2html_wrap_inline551 However body is not penetrated by fluid!

tex2html_wrap561

tex2html_wrap_inline555 =added mass

eqnarray142

k: added mass coefficient

It can be shown that:

eqnarray146

K: depends on shape of body  (K=1 for cylinder)
