The wave forces acting on a floating hemisphere undergoing forced periodic oscillations

The object of this paper is to derive the added mass and damping coefficients associated with the periodic motions of a floating hemisphere. Two physically distinct cases are considered; namely those of heave and surge, where these nautical terms refer respectively to a vertical or horizontal oscillation of the body. Computations have been done and the values found for the various force coefficients are presented in tabulated form. A brief derivation of the long- and short-wave asymptotics of these coefficients has also been included.
