Based on the energy functional variation principle, the image method and the Graf's addition theorem, the structure-fluid coupling vibration equation for the cylindrical shell is established. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed analytical method are validated by comparison with the finite element numerical method. It is found that the free surface increases the natural frequencies of the same orders and the vibration characteristics of the cylindrical shell below the free surface tends to be the same as those in infinite fluid when the submerged depth exceeds severalfold radiuses. The work provides more understanding on the vibration behavior of a finite cylindrical shell immersed in finite water depths.", }
