| Abstract: | A method of solving the initial boundary-value problem of the horizontal motion of a circular cylinder under the interface
between two liquids is developed within the framework of nonlinear theory and implemented numerically. Profiles of generated
waves and hydrodynamic loads are calculated for the problem of the acceleration of a circular cylinder under the free surface
of a heavy liquid. The phenomenon of wave breaking is considered in detail.
