Fluid Dynamics for Ocean and Environmental Engineering
Added Mass Coefficients Learning Objectives: 1. Evaluate potential flow solutions to compute forces on objects 2. Model forces on objects using added-mass coefficients 3. Identify and formulate the physical interpretation of the mathematical terms in solutions to fluid dynamics problems
Topics/Outline: 1. General properties of added mass coefficients: symmetry, relation to kinetic energy of the fluid, translation 2. Slender body theory 3. Example of added mass of a sphere
