Abstract:Ihree cases from the experiment conducted in the hydroballistics tank of the Naval Surface Weapons Center in 1976 are compared to the SNAPLOAD and SEADYN computer models. Two of theruns simulate the anchor-last deployment of a mooring; the third shows the relaxation of a mooring displaced laterally, then released. The quality of the experimental data is evaluated by comparing each case to the static, elastic catenary equations at the start and finish of each run. The measured positions of points along the stat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
