Erratum for “Wave Forces on Multiple Vertical Cylinders”

Wave Scattering from Vertical Surface-Piercing Cylinders

This thesis describes new laboratory observations concerning the interaction between a series of steep incident waves and vertical, surface piercing, cylinders. The motivation for the study arose as a result of wave impact damage sustained to the undersides of several concrete gravity-based structures in the northern North Sea. Earlier work, Swan et al., (1997), demonstrated that in the case of...

Casimir forces between cylinders at different temperatures

Tunable capillary-induced attraction between vertical cylinders.

Deformation of a fluid interface caused by the presence of objects at the interface can lead to large lateral forces between objects. We explore these fluid-mediated attractive force between partially submerged vertical cylinders. Forces are experimentally measured by slowly separating cylinder pairs and cylinder triplets after capillary rise is initially established for cylinders in contact. F...

Scattering by rings of vertical cylinders

It is 25 years since the publication of “Linton & Evans” [1] on “The interaction of waves with arrays of vertical circular cylinders”; it is their most cited joint work. The paper describes an exact method in which separation of variables and addition theorems are combined, leading to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations. The method itself is much older, and goes back to a paper by ...

Electromagnetic Scattering from Multiple Cylinders

During the last several decades, electromagnetic scattering from multiple cylinders has been an active research topic of in many areas, such as microwave remote sensing, theory of photonic crystals, atmospheric sciences, and so on. Rigorous theoretical treatment is therefore of critical importance. A large body of available studies in the literature concerns with two dimensional scattering, suc...
