Impact of three-dimensional standing waves on a flat horizontal plate
Résumé
A set-up is designed in order to study the wave impact on structures. These structures can be the stern part of cruiser, a fixed structure as a pier or the roof of LNG-tank. The traveling waves impact was already studied by Smith et al. (1998) but it seems difficult to elaborate a model except some empirical formulæ linking the drop height, the wavelength and the wave steepness. Barrholm (2001) as well studied the travelling wave impact underneath decks of platforms. His modelling is based on a two-dimensional Wagner model where the determination of the wetted surface is not a simple task. Here a simplified impact phenomenon is investigated since standing waves are generated.
