A Synthesis of Bow Wave Profile and Change of Level Data for Destroyer-Type Hulls with Application to Computing Minimum Required Freeboards,

Abstract

Calm water measurements of change of level and of bow wave profile for 32 surface combatants are synthesized to derive empirical expressions for these phenomena. A distinction is drawn between ships with and without bow domes. The empirical expressions derived are found to be adequate for use in computing minimum required design freeboards. (Author)
