The wave forces acting on a circular, a square and a rectangular cylinder are examined together with the visualized flow about the cylinders. The inertia force coefficient of the ever cylinder decreases with the increasing Keulegan-Carpenter number. The secondary flow induced around the cylinder is exposed from the path lines of ambient flow. The circulation of the flow of the every cylinder is almost the same and is in proportion to the square of the Keulegan-Carpenter number. The lift force calculated from the circulation can explain the decrement of the inertia force well.
