Hydroelastic vibration of a cantilever cylindrical shell partially submerged in a liquid

Abstract The dynamic characteristics of a circular cylindrical shell in contact with a liquid are theoretically studied. The cantilevered cylindrical shell with open ends is partially submerged in a liquid which is unbounded in the radial direction, but bounded by a rigid and flat bottom. Since the liquid is assumed to be incompressible and inviscid, the liquid motion can be described as the velocity potentials written in terms of the appropriate Bessel functions for both the inner and the outer liquid regions. The compatibility of the dynamic displacement along the contacting surfaces between the shell and liquid leads the resulting equations, satisfying both the shell and liquid motions, which are solved by using the collocation method. Finally, the Rayleigh–Ritz method is applied to extract the wet natural frequencies and the mode shapes of the liquid-coupled system. The validity of the theoretical method is established with the aid of a commercial finite element computer code. In order to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of the liquid-coupled system, the effects of the submerged depth and the axial gap between the bottom end of the shell and the bottom surface of the liquid are demonstrated.
