Unfortunately, this model cannot describe the surface wave because of the rigid lid assumption. In this paper, a modified model is established with linearized governing equations and the free surface condition. This modified model can describe both the internal and surface wave excited by a submerged cylindrical body, and is feasible to arbitrary density profiles. In the investigation, the eigenvalue parameter is first obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem under the boundary condition through Thomson-Haskell method. The eigenvalue parameter is then employed to construct the Green function. The vertical displacement induced by the moving objects is obtained after solving the Green function through Fourier transform in finite or infinite water depth. The results are compared to experimental results and classical theory, respectively. The comparisons show good agreement. The results also show that the waveform consists of multiple wave modes from mode-0 to mode-n. It is also found that mode 0 is associated to the surface wave and the other modes are related to the internal waves.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Free surfaceInternal waveStratified fluidTheoretical modelTechnikIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.15480/882.331010.15480/882.3310Fluiddynamik und Schiffstheorie M-8Conference Paper
