Water-pressure distributions during landings of a prismatic model having an angle of dead rise of 22 1/2 degree and beam-loading coefficients of 0.48 and 0.97 / Robert F. Smiley.
As part of an over-all program, smooth-water landing tests of a prismatic float having an angle of dead rise of 22-1/2 degrees were made. Water-pressure, velocity, draft, and acceleration data are presented. Landings were made for beam-loading coefficients of 0.48 and 0.97 at fixed trims between 0.2...

| Summary: | As part of an over-all program, smooth-water landing tests of a prismatic float having an angle of dead rise of 22-1/2 degrees were made. Water-pressure, velocity, draft, and acceleration data are presented. Landings were made for beam-loading coefficients of 0.48 and 0.97 at fixed trims between 0.2 degrees and 30.3 degrees for a range of flight-path angles from 4.6 degrees to 25.9 degrees and also for 90 degrees. The experimental pressure distributions are found to be in fair agreement with the predictions of the available theory; hovever, better agreement is obtained by modification of the theory. |
