Complex wave action on submerged bodies

This paper describes a method of calculating exciting forces on free or fixed bodies in waves and its application to some examples. The method lays upon an accurate computation of the transitory pressures applied by a potential flow on a submerged body. The calculation may be used for the case of a free body in complex waves. First, we give the...

New wind-wave flumes at Delft

On March 24, 1969, the new wind-wave flumes at the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory (Figures 5 and 6) were officially opened by the Director-General of the Rijkswaterstaat. The design work started in 1964, and the building and installations 1tlere completed in November 1968. A general description of this equipment and some insight into its underlying...
