| Abstract |
The infl uence of tank side walls often deteriates towing tests. In stationary constructions, test parameters become in function of tank- and model-size and their variation is limited to narrow bandwidth . This paper evaluates the proposal of C1auss et al. [7] on a theoretical base. The equations try to attempt giving an estimation of the energy loss introduced by such an absorbing system. A computer program is included and offers the opportunity to design a wave - energy absorbing device that comes up to expectations. |
