Abstract

The water-shipping problem is modelled in a two-dimensional framework and studied experimentally and numerically for the case of a fixed barge-shaped structure. The analysis represents the second step of the research discussed in Greco et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 525, 2005, p. 309). The numerical investigation is performed by using both a boundary element method and a domain-decomposition strategy. The model tests highlight the occurrence of dam-breaking-type water on deck, (a) with and (b) without an initial plunging phase, and (c) an unusual type of water shipping connected with blunt water–deck impacts here called a hammer-fist type event never documented before. Cases (a) and (c) are connected with the most severe events and the related features and green-water loads are discussed in detail. A parametric analysis of water-on-deck phenomena has also been carried out in terms of the local incoming waves and bow flow features. We classify such phenomena in a systematic way to provide a basis for further investigations of water-on-deck events. The severity of (a)-type water-on-deck events is analysed in terms of initial cavity area and water-front velocity along the deck. The former increases as the square power of the modified incoming-wave (front-crest) steepness while the latter scales with its square-root. The two-dimensional investigation gives useful quantitative information in terms of water-front velocity for comparison with three-dimensional water-on-deck experiments on fixed bow models interacting with wave packets.
