RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF CAPSIZING OF SHIPS BY DISRUPTIVE WAVES

Experimental investigations have been carried out on ship models with shallow water waves; this made possible the modeling, under laboratory conditions, of the capsizing of ship models by disruptive waves and the explanation of the general regularities of this phenomenon. Five models were subjected to investigations: one was a model of a salvage tugboat and four were schematized cylindrical models two of which had a cross sectional outline of a rectangular pontoon, the other two - a cross sectional outline of the midship section of a fishing troller. These models represented a relative scale series with transverse dimension ratios of 1:1.8. Results are given for the investigation of the two last mentioned models and also the results of certain partial investigations of other aspects of the problem. The experimental device and the methodology for the investigation of the models within the pool using a floating bottom are described.
