An analytical method for the wave force on a long array of cylinders in a two-layer fluid
两层流体中多个圆柱浮体波浪力的解析方法

An analytical method is used to analyze the wave force of a long array of cylinders in a two-layer fluid acted by linear waves.The analytic expressions for the scattering potential functions are obtained by using the multipole expansion method,and expressions for the wave force are defined.A boundary element method is used to verify the correctness of the present analytical method.Finally,the analytical results of the wave force on cylinders are studied for some different parameters.
