The Effects of Cross-Sectional Geometry on Wave-Induced Loads for Underwater Vehicles

This article investigates the role that cross-sectional geometry plays on the magnitude and phase of wave-induced linear loads experienced by an underwater vehicle operating near the surface. A towing tank with wave making capabilities is used to measure the wave-induced forces and moments on variou...
