Abstract
Abstract The slamming behavior of structures entering water is crucial for understanding wave loads on marine structures. To investigate the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of vertical symmetric and asymmetric water slamming loads on wedges, a series of tests were conducted on rigid wedges with deadrises of 20° and 30°. During asymmetric water entry, the wedge was heeled by 5° and 10° along the Z-axis. The experimental results indicate that velocity loss and the pressure error is less than 5%. Furthermore, the peak pressure decreases with the effective deadrise increase. The analysis is discussed in the paper. The slamming behavior of structures entering water is crucial for understanding wave loads on marine structures. To investigate the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of ver-tical symmetric and asymmetric water slamming loads on wedges, a series of tests were conducted on rigid wedges with deadrises of 20° and 30°. During asymmetric water entry, the wedge was heeled by 5° and 10° along the Z-axis. The experimental results indicate that velocity loss and the pressure error is less than 5%. Furthermore, the peak pressure decreases with the effective deadrise increase. Relevant quantitative analysis is discussed in the article.
