The Impact of a Deep-Water Plunging Breaker on a Partially Submerged Cube

An Wang, Christine M. Ikeda, David A. Drazen +3

The impact of a plunging breaker on a partially submerged cube is explored experimentally in a wave tank equipped with a programable wave maker. The experiments are conducted with…

An Experimental and Computational Study of Breaking Wave Impact Forces

Thomas C. Fu, Anne M. Fullerton, Susan Brewton +2

The impact forces generated by the impact of a breaking wave are poorly understood. These impulsive hydrodynamic loads to a ship's hull are of short duration relative to ship motio…

The Impact of a Deep-Water Plunging Breaker

Christine Ikeda, Thomas T. O'Shea, Kyle A. Brucker +5

The impact of a plunging breaking wave (wavelength approximately 1.3m) on a rigidly mounted rigid cube structure (dimension 0.31m) that is partially submerged is explored through e…

A Comparison of Model-Scale Experimental Measurements and Computational Predictions for a Large Transom-Stern Wave

David A. Drazen, Anne M. Fullerton, Thomas C. Fu +8

The flow field generated by a transom stern hull form is a complex, broad-banded, three-dimensional system marked by a large breaking wave. This unsteady multiphase turbulent flow…

A Comparison of Measured and Predicted Wave-Impact Pressures from Breaking and Non-breaking Waves

Anne M. Fullerton, Thomas C. Fu, Susan Brewton +3

Impact loads from waves on vessels and coastal structures are complex and may involve wave breaking, which has made these loads difficult to estimate numerically or empirically. Re…
