Ramos, J. and Guedes Soares, C. (1997), “On the Assessment of Hydrodynamic Coefficients of Cylinders in Heaving", Ocean Engineering, Vol. 24, Issue 8, pp. 743-763

A detailed comparison is made of the common two dimensional methods for the evaluation of the hydrodynamic coefficients. Special attention was made on the conformal transformation method and the parameters which influence the accuracy of this method are study. After that the results are compared with the Frank close fit method with respect of accuracy and time effort. Finally the correlation between the geometric errors and the hydrodynamic errors are examined and some relations are proposed.
