A representation of fluid forces in finite segment cable models

Abstract The finite segment modelling of a long flexible cable is discussed. An equivalent force system representing the fluid and gravitational forces exerted on a typical cable segment is determined. The fluid forces include inertia, drag, and hydrostatic (bouyancy) forces. Application of the results in computer algorithm development is also discussed.
