The vorticity transport integral concept for determining forces on submerged bodies
Abstract
The vorticity transport integral concept affords an analytical procedure which is well suited to determining forces on structural elements in the unsteady flow which is characteristic of a marine environment. The integral approach is similar to that of a conventional control volume, however the resulting expressions are more suitable to unsteady flows. The resulting expressions are used in a qualitative appraisal of the various contributions to the total force on a body in an unsteady flow.
