Abstract: In this paper,based on linear theory:the solution of wave-current forces on a large vertical cylinder is divided into twoproblems,the Bteady current exciting wave problem and theunsteady diffraction problem·Because the force caused by thefirst problem is much smaller than that of the second oneHere, we only present the analysis of the unsteady part whileuniform currentis present.The free surface condition and theradiation condition of weak current and waves acting on avertical cylinder are investigated.The wave-current forces arecomputed by Direct Boundary Element Method,and numericalresults are close to the experimental data.
