Wave drag on floating bodies.
We measure the deceleration of liquid nitrogen drops floating at the surface of a liquid bath. On water, the friction force is found to be about 10 to 100 times larger than on a solid substrate, which is shown to arise from wave resistance. We investigate the influence of the bath viscosity and show that the dissipation decreases as the viscosity is increased, owing to wave damping. The measure...
متن کاملFloating Bodies of Equilibrium
A long cylindrical body of circular cross-section and homogeneous density may float in all orientations around the cylinder axis. It is shown that there are also bodies of non-circular cross-sections which may float in any direction. Apart from those found by Auerbach for ρ = 1/2 there are one-parameter families of cross-sections for ρ 6= 1/2 which have a p-fold rotation axis. For given p they ...
متن کاملDesign, Analysis and Verification of Moored Floating Caisson System
Tacoma Narrows Constructors (TNC) is building a new suspension bridge in Tacoma, close to Seattle, Washington State, USA. The new bridge will be built just south of the existing bridge mounted on two caissons, referred to as East Caisson (Tacoma side) and West Caisson (Gig Harbor side). Each pier is about 80’ wide and 130’ long in plan. The mooring system for each caisson consists of two sets o...
متن کاملArchimedes’ floating bodies on a spherical Earth
Archimedes was the first to systematically find the centers of gravity of various solid bodies and to apply this concept in determining stable configurations of floating bodies. In this paper, we discuss an error in a proof developed by Archimedes that involves determining whether a uniform, spherical cap will float stably with its base horizontal in a liquid on a spherical Earth. We present a ...
