CORRIGENDUM: Surface wave damping in a brimful circular cylinder

Abstract

As pointed out to us by Mr T. Heath, the following printing errors can be quite misleading when using the formulas in the paper to obtain eigenfrequencies and damping rates to compare with experiments: in (A 13) 1 should read −1 on the right-hand side; in (A 22) and (A 26) Ω20 should read Ω−20; in (A 25) the factor Ω40 must be omitted on the right-hand side. When revising again the printed version of the paper, we discovered several additional misprints: A factor C was omitted in the first two integrals in the expression for J2, immediately following equation (2.9). The sign of the second expression for I1 in (2.23) should be changed. The expression (W0Wz +3WW0z)z=0 should read 2(W0Wz +WW0z)z=0 in equation (2.24). The expression W0(1, z)W0z(1, z) in (2.26) should read W0(r, 0)W0z(r, 0). None of the misprints above affect the results of the paper, which were obtained with the correct expressions
