Surface and Internal Waves due to a Moving Load on a Very Large Floating Structure
Figure 8
Time variation of surface profiles due to the point load moving on the floating thin plate, where is surface displacement. The length of thin plate, , and moving distance of point load, , are 35.0 m and 5.0 m, respectively; = 500.0 Nm2. The number of terms for velocity potential, N, is equal to two. The mark indicates the position of moving point load.
