Hydrodynamic responses of a thin floating disk to regular waves
arXiv:1502.07018 · doi:10.1016/j.ocemod.2015.11.008
Abstract
Laboratory wave basin measurements of the surge, heave and pitch of a floating plastic disk caused by regular incident waves are presented. The measurements are used to validate two theoretical models: one based on slope-sliding theory and the other on combined potential-flow and thin-plate theories.
