AbstractWe derive an explicit formula that permits the recovery of the profile of an irrotational solitary water wave from pressure data measured at the flat bed of the fluid domain. The formula is valid for the governing equations and applies to waves of small and large amplitude.

AbstractWe derive an equation relating the pressure at the flat bed and the profile of an irrotational steady water wave, valid for all classical solutions of the governing equations for water waves. This permits the recovery of the surface wave from pressure measurements at the bed. Although we focus on periodic waves, the extension to solitary waves is straightforward. We illustrate the usefulness of the equation beyond the realm of linear theory by investigating the regime of shallow-water waves of small amplitude and by presenting a numerical example.

AbstractThis paper is about the determination of a free surface wave profile from a given pressure distribution at the bottom. For a two-dimensional irrotational steady surface water wave propagating over a flat horizontal bed, this problem is solved analytically in an implicit form. Explicit solutions can be easily obtained numerically via fixed point iterations, whose convergence is outlined mathematically and numerically. This new surface reconstruction procedure does not involve the resolution of a differential or an integral equation, i.e. the surface is given by algebraic local relations. Thus, this formulation permits the free surface recovery in a simpler and more efficient way than previous methods.

Among all kinds of loads that floating and fixed marine constructions experience, water wave slamming can be considered as one of the most critical. To prevent naval constructions from failing due to slamming impact, slamming loads should be carefully investigated. Besides analytical and numerical calculations, experimental data is of crucial importance. Slamming loads can be measured by performing pressure measurements on the surface of the object during impact. Previous publications showed that precise and correct measurements are very difficult to perform, especially for slamming events with small deadrise angles. Large scatter mostly characterizes these measurements. This research focuses on improving the accuracy and reproducibility of the pressure recordings. Therefore, slamming drop tests are performed on a rigid cylindrical body. Most attention is paid to the bottom of the cylinder where the deadrise angle is 0°.
