The hydrodynamic mass approach to the solution of dynamic problems in coupled fluid-cylindrical shells is reviewed; simplified equations for computing the hydrodynamic masses and for the subsequent solution of the eigenvalue problem are given in several commonly encountered special cases. Methods of incorporating the hydrodynamic mass concept into finite element structural analysis computer programs for the more general cases are discussed.
