A. Sakout et A. Jarnodruaux, INFLUENCE OF THE FORCE INDUCED BY CIRCULA TION ON THE LIFT ON A NEAR-WALL CYLINDER BENEATH WAVES, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 2, Mecanique, physique, chimie, sciences de l'univers, sciences de la terre, 319(1), 1994, pp. 9-15
The experimental application of the momentum equation to the fluid bou
nding a cylinder placed near a wall in waves gives a good evaluation o
f the lift force on the cylinder. The force induced by circulation can
be isolated in the equation and its experimental evaluation reveals t
hat the stationary part of the force induced by circulation is the maj
or contribution to the lift force.
