The small-time expansion of the two-dimensional problem of a heaving semi-submerged circular cylinder, starting from rest, is analyzed. The first three terms of the small-time expansion of the outer solution are obtained. A logarithmic singularity is found for the second derivative in time of the surface elevation at the intersection point. The problem of the horizontal motion of the semi-submerged cylinder is analyzed as well. The inner solution of the problem of the heaving cylinder is discussed, showing that the oscillatory behavior reported for the wavemaker problem appears in the present solution, too.
