Free-Surface Effects on Ship Boundary Layers and Wakes

Abstract

A new experimental program has been planned, which will focus on the detailed resolution and determination of the fundamental physical mechanisms of the flow in the neighborhood of the body/free-surface boundary layer and wake (i.e., the solid-fluid juncture and wake regions). Both mean and turbulence velocities will be measured for zero, medium, and large steepness. Also, an effort will be made to measure the wave-induced separation flow pattern.
