Abstract
Data on the acceleration of an oscillating cylinder in water are analysed by a Kalman extended filter. A hydrodynamical forcing model based upon Morison's equation appears to be reasonable and drag estimation appears simple using simulated data. Estimation based upon real data gives an average drag coefficient decreasing with the oscillation amplitude. An assymetric drag coefficient variation over the oscillation period is estimated.
