Abstract

The interaction of a pitching circular disk with the motion induced by the disk in the surrounding fluid is investigated in this paper. MacCamy's (1961) method of simplifying the three-dimensional problem of a circular disk to the two-dimensional problem is found to apply in the present analysis. The integral equation is solved numerically to determine the dependence of pressure, added moment of inertia, and damping coefficient on the frequency of the oscillation.
