Detailed measurements of the turbulent multiphase flow associated with wave breaking present a unique instrumentation challenge. Measurement systems must be capable of high sampling rates, large dynamic ranges, as well as be capable of making measurements in water, air and optically opaque regions. An experiment was performed in on Carriage 2 in the Deep Water Basin at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, (NSWCCD) in October 2007 to measure ...
This report describes the data obtained from a field experiment to obtain full-scale qualitative and quantitative wave slamming data of the Sea Fighter (FSF-1), a high-speed experimental vessel developed by the Office of Naval Research. A 4-day trial from April 18-21, 2006 was conducted which began in Port Angeles, WA and ended in San Diego, CA. This data includes measurement of the ambient environmental conditions (wind and waves) in which ...
