Lift, Drag and Moment for a Hydrofoil Operating Near the Free Surface and Under Transverse Gravity.

Abstract

Using linear theory, expressions for lift, drag and moments are obtained for hydrofoil operating near the free surface and under transverse gravity. Existing results are easily obtainable for special cases when gravity is neglected, and/or depth below the free surface approaches infinity. Numerical calculations are performed and results are shown by figures. (Author)
