... approach is based on mathematical formulation of 2D+T theory and added mass variation in longitudinal direction. Virtual mass of a wedge in horizontal direction is analytically found and then the final force and moments are computed using extension of sectional forces, acted on wedge section of the boat...

... Papers presented in recent FAST conferences and prior reports by CISD (the US Navy's Center for Innovation in Ship Design) have made available interesting information of a new hull type denominated “Wedge”. A statement in the latest such paper presented at FAST 2015 by L. Wang et al (Ref. 1...

... part focuses on assessing NFA’s ability to predict pressures on the surface of a 10 degree deadrise wedge during impact with an undisturbed free surface. Detailed comparisons to pressure gauges are presented for two different drop heights, 6 inches and 10 inches. Results show NFA accurately predicted...
