Simulation of Sea Spectra in the Naval Ship Research and Development Center Carriage II Test Facility

Abstract

To model full-scale oceanographic conditions, the wavemaker for the 51-foot-wide deep basin at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center was modified to generate random waves having specific, spectral characteristics. The results of initial attempts to generate such wave spectra are reported, including calibration of the wavemaker unit and spatial studies to determine the variation in wave spectra with distance from wavemaker.
