Monochromatic electrostatic waves of large amplitude were excited by the interaction of an electron beam with a bounded plasma. These waves were identified as resonant beam modes, which are amplified by multiple reflexion in a cavity. Nonlinear effects, such as the generation of harmonies and sidebands, were observed.

The paper presents a time domain method to calculate the ship responses in heavy weather, including the global structural loads due to whipping. Since large amplitude waves induce nonlinear ship responses, and in particular highly nonlinear vertical structural loads, the equations of motions and structural loads are solved in the time domain. The “partially nonlinear” time domain seakeeping program accounts for the most important nonlinear effects. Slamming forces are given by the contribution of two components: an initial impact due to bottom slamming and flare slamming due to the variation of momentum of the added mass. The hull vibratory response is calculated applying the modal analysis together with direct integration of the differential equations in the time domain. The structural dynamic characteristics of the hull are modeled by a finite element representation of a Timoshenko beam accounting for the shear deformation and rotary inertia. The calculation procedure is applied to a frigate advancing in regular waves. The contribution of whipping loads to the vertical bending moments on the ship structure is assessed by comparing this response with and without the hull vibration.

Abstract. We revisit experimental studies performed by Ekman on dead-water (Ekman, 1904) using modern techniques in order to present new insights on this peculiar phenomenon. We extend its description to more general situations such as a three-layer fluid or a linearly stratified fluid in presence of a pycnocline, showing the robustness of dead-water phenomenon. We observe large amplitude nonlinear internal waves which are coupled to the boat dynamics, and we emphasize that the modeling of the wave-induced drag requires more analysis, taking into account nonlinear effects. Dedicated to Fridtjöf Nansen born 150 yr ago (10 October 1861).

An experimental campaign is reported on the wave response of a rectangular barge supporting two rectangular tanks partly filled with water. Flat and chamfered tank roofs are successively tested, at varying heights above the free surfaces inside the tanks. The tests are carried out in irregular wave systems coming from abeam. The measured barge roll and sloshing motions in the tanks are compared with numerical results from a linearized potential flow model. Good agreement is reported in mild seastates. Nonlinear effects, associated with large amplitude sloshing motion and/or roof impacts, are investigated.
