Abstract

At high frequency, the leading terms in the virtual mass and wavemaking coefficients for a heaving, axisymmetric body depend only on the limit potential (Rhodes-Robinson, 1971). Here this result is applied to closed and open tori and solutions found in closed form. Some numerical values of the coefficients are tabulated.
