As for a ship oscillating at free surface with frequency that ranges from those that are common for ship motion in waves to very high frequency associating with the impact problem, the vertical force acting on the ship for the lower limit of frequency range is dominated by gravity effect, which is usually ignored in the impact theory. As a consequence there must be a transition range in between...

This paper presents systematic comparisons of experiments against fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulations for flat water plate entry. Special focus is attributed on hydroelasticity and air trapping effects, quantification the experimental numerical uncertainties validity modelling assumptions prediction bottom slamming induced loads. Consequently, American society Mechanical Engineers sta...

An investigation was performed to measure sloshing motion and damping during harmonic forced vertical of a rectangular tank containing fluid, with particular focus on the amplitude dependent transition between lateral turbulent, slamming. Qualitative quantitative explanations are provided for saturation point dissipation effects, together metrics distinguish different regimes, ballistic-harmoni...
