Abstract

An improved understanding of the fluid-solid interaction associated with a solid body slamming on the water surface is central to the design of naval and aeronautical structures. Of critical importance is the quantification of the hydrodynamic loading experienced by a slamming hull, in relation with its geometric and physical properties along with the conditions of the impact. This book chapter summarizes research supported by the Office of Naval Research, Solid Mechanics Program, at New York University to establish a reliable experimental methodology for the spatially-distributed, temporally-resolved inference of the hydrodynamic loading experienced by a slamming structure. Through the use of particle image velocimetry (PIV), we demonstrate the possibility to infer the hydrodynamic loading on rigid and compliant hulls that enter and exit the water surface, with varying inclination angles and different geometries.
