The floating cylindrical structures, such as the floating frame of the fish farming and the floating bodies of wave energy convertor and so on, are generally semi-submerged. However, the investigation on the hydrodynamics on such floating cylinders are few. This status makes the design and analysis of the relevant new structures face the essential problems of the force input uncertainty. The hydrodynamic forces on a semi-submerged cylinder were experimentally investigated under the combined influence of steady and oscillatory flow. To simulate the equivalent combined flow, the cylinder towed by the carriage was forced to oscillate with different amplitudes and periods. A significant mean downward lift force was observed for the semi-submerged cylinders, which was obviously larger than that of the mean drag force. Moreover, the relationship between the hydrodynamic coefficients and multi-sensitive parameters was revealed. It is confirmed that the KC number has a weak influence on the coefficients. The Froude number is seen to be the most important parameter affecting the hydrodynamic coefficients. The empirical models for predicting hydrodynamic coefficients in combined flow are initially developed. This work can provide useful references for the design of the related marine structures and serve as the valuable guideline for future research.
