Du calcul des efforts hydrodynamiques pour des configurations bidimensionnelles multi-corps

Abstract: This Note is a generalization of the work presented in Comptes Rendus Mécanique (Vol. 333, 6). Now two-dimensional multi-bodies configurations are considered. Simple conformal mappings of the fluid region are used to describe the potential flow around an array of bodies with arbitrary shape. By revisiting this problem, a compact expression of the coupled matrix of added masses and moment of inertia is elaborated. The corresponding solution in term of velocity potential, has another purpose. It is used as a basis of functions to formulate the loads acting on the same body arrangement but now placed in a viscous and incompressible fluid flow. To cite this article: Y.-M. Scolan, C. R.
