A complete theory to obtain semi-analytical solutions of the wave drift damping of vertical circular cylinders is developed. It includes both interaction between cylinders and radiation effects of wave frequency motions. The contribution of the second order steady potential in terms of wave slope is also considered. Special treatment is suggested to deal with the singularity around the sharp corner of the body. Numerical examples are presented. The theoretical approach gives an effective mean to calculate wave drift damping.
