Hydrodynamic Impact Loads in Smooth Water for a Prismatic Float Having an Angle of Dead Rise of 10 Degrees
Description:
Note presenting a prismatic float with an angle of dead rise of 10 degrees, which was subjected to smooth-water impacts in the impact basin. The investigation consisted of a series of impacts at fixed angles of trim of 3 degrees, 12 degrees, 20 degrees, and 30 degrees and at flight-path angles from 2 to 23 degrees. Results regarding the effect of dead-rise function and aspect-ratio factor on hydrodynamic load and chine immersion are provided.
