Hydrodynamic responses of a thin floating disk to regular waves

Fluid Dynamics 2016-02-17 v1 Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics

Abstract

Laboratory wave basin measurements of the surge, heave and pitch of a floating plastic disk caused by regular incident waves are presented. The measurements are used to validate two theoretical models: one based on slope-sliding theory and the other on combined potential-flow and thin-plate theories.
