Linear potential theory is used to investigate the hydrodynamic interactions between two vertical cylinders in harmonic flow. The behaviour of the added mass and damping is studied for various cylinder diameters, lengths of immersion and spacing between the cylinders. In practice, the results have relevance to the fluid loading on offshore structural members, such as risers and platform legs, and pipeline bundles. On a more theoretical level, comparisons are possible between the results of a three-dimensional diffraction program and various asymptotic expressions to establish the range of validity of the latter and the need, where appropriate, of the former.
