The added mass coefficient C was determined for a single spherical-cap body moving in a uniform unbounded fluid. An approximate simple physical model for C was suggested and was well compared with the analytical result of Kendoush,which likely is the only available theoretical result in the literature,up to date. The correct result for C was obtained via direct numerical flow simulation with CFD. Both the rigid and deformable (bubble,drop)cap body was considered. An approximate model was suggested for the collective added mass in a swarm of spherical cap bodies. A relation was found between the added mass of an unbounded cap body and a bounded spherical body. Practical explicit correlation formulas for C were obtained,suitable for engineering modelling of multiphase flow systems with bubbles,drops and solids. A relation between the added mass, Darwin drift, and fluid mixing was also noted.
