A METHOD TO PREDICT WAVE IMPACT PRESSURE

Several methods for the prediction of wave impact pressures have been presented in recent years; they employ different basic equations for correlating actual impact phenomena with model tests or theories, and in most cases lack complete physical explanations. This paper presents a simple method for correlating actual impact phenomena with simple model tests or theories and also presents a general description and physical explanations for modelling methods of impact phenomena. For the design of structures it is necessary to determine maximum impact loads together with the magnitude and distribution of wave impact pressures. Existing prediction methods will give the maximum impact pressures, but not their distributions. It is difficult to obtain the distribution of impact pressures from 3-dimensional model tests in waves. This paper gives a method for obtaining information on the distribution from 3-dimensional model tests.
