Abstract
Offshore structures often encounter waves, currents and earthquake excitations. Assessment of hydrodynamic forces on structures can be learned from viscous flows past an oscillating cylinder. During an earthquake excitation, the relative velocity Vo between cross flow (current) and an oscillating cylinder (induced by ground motion) could be very large. In this computational flow simulation, the flow is developed from an impulsive acceleration with a constant cross flow characterized by Ro = 3000 along with a large oscillatory velocity Vc of the cylinder.
