The paper aims at presenting a solution of the linearized hydrodynamic radiation problem for two concentric, free surface-piercing truncated vertical cylinders that are forced to independently oscillate in heave in finite depth waters. For the solution of the problem, the flow field around the two bodies is subdivided into ring-shaped fluid regions, in each of which axisymmetric eigenfunction expansions for the velocity potential are made. By implementing Galerkin's method, the various potential solutions are matched and extensive numerical results concerning the hydrodynamic and interaction coefficients in heave for various geometrical configurations presented and discussed.
