This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment.The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. Attention is paid to the special case of a circular cylinder. The development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are also investigated.The book is intended for MSc students with some experience in basic fluid mechanics and for PhD students.

The papers collected in this volume, presented at the workshop on 'Nonlinear Problems in Engineering', held in ENEA Rome (Italy) from 6 - 7 May 1991, and sponsored by ENEA, report nonlinear problems of prevailing engineering interest. Both nonlinear static and dynamic topics are dealt with; in particular, plastic behavior of materials, elastic-plastic models, fracture mechanics, geophysical prospecting, theory of nonlinear control, mixing models for chemical reactors, nonlinear responses of structures, rotor dynamics, and impact loads on structures.
