Slamming of High Speed Craft: A Parametric Study of Severe Cases
… This allowed a deeper study of the hydrodynamic loads that occur during slamming. A planing hull model was subjected to controlled motions in the vertical plane to replicate the types of slamming motions that a vessel may experience in the ocean. The slamming events investigated were chosen based …
