DOWNLOAD EBOOKCaptive model experiments were conducted on a high length-to-beam ratio surface effect ship testcraft design to determine vertical plane characteristics and to evaluate captive model experimental techniques. Model results for forced heave oscillation and pitch oscillations, and regular-wave exciting forces and moments and transient-waves exciting forces and moments are reported. The effects of sidewalls and cushion pressure variation on the oscillation results are identified. The correlation between the regular waves and transient waves techniques for determining the excitation is shown. (Author).
