... The height of the intersection between the free surface and a ship hull is of interest for many naval architecture applications. For example, wave height at a station influences the probability of water on deck, and wetted elevation at a buttock on a transom influences resistance forces...

... The time history of wave elevations measured at a single wave probe in long crest waves is used to reconstruct the propagating wave field. The reconstruction follows the potential flow theory with linear or nonlinear free surface boundary conditions. The linear approach is used to verify...

...) and Reineman et al. (2009) has identified the utility of using near-infrared scanning LIDAR systems to map sea surface elevation from airborne platforms. Terill and Fu (2008) have demonstrated the use of LIDAR from sea-based platforms such as FSF-1 Sea Fighter and R/V Athena. Work at NSWCCD has shown the LIDAR...

... Phase-averaged results from a towing tank experiment of regular head waves are documented. Uniform flow, free surface elevation, and headwave flowfields are measured with a towed particle image velocimetry system in the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research towing tank of a two-dimensional, deep...

... Results from towing-tank experiments of free-surface wave-induced separation are documented. Free­surface elevations and surface pressures are measured for a surface-piercing NACA0024 hydrofoil progressing into a calm free surface at the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research (IIHR) towing tank...

... The bow flow of the Series 60 CB 0. 6 ship model is reinvestigated using both experiments and CFD. More detailed bow-flow data is obtained by taking measurements of the wave elevation with a point gauge very near the bow. In the CFD, the bow flow is resolved in more detail by using the real bow...

... In this paper we consider the use of so-called sparse Volterra time-domain models to decompose experimentally observed irregular waves into their first- and second order components. By decomposing the wave elevation, the influence of the individual linear and quadratic components on the large...
