Abstract
Abstract : The study is part of an overall program on the interpretation of performance tests of amphibious vehicles in surf. By 'surf' is meant the zone near-shore wherein waves are actually breaking--that is, the zone where the analytical treatment of water waves is least tractable and, consequently, least satisfactory. By 'simulation' is meant the production of 'surf' in a tank facility and the operation of a model vehicle in this surf. The report is presented in two parts: Part One is a survey of available knowledge of surf, the implications for model simulation and a preliminary application to existing Davidson Laboratory facilities. Part Two is a presentation of results of initial experiments on model surf generation at the Davidson Laboratory.
