Abstract
This paper presents experimental and numerical studies into the
hydrodynamic loading of a bottom-hinged large buoyant flap held
rigidly upright in waves.
Possible applications and limitations of physical experiments, a
linear potential analytical method, a linear potential numerical
method, a weakly non-linear tool and RANS CFD simulations
are discussed.
Different domains of applicability of these research techniques
are highlighted considering the validity of underlying assumptions,
complexity of application and feasibility in terms of resources
like time and computing power needed to obtain results.
Conclusions are drawn regarding the future extension of the numerical
methods to the case of a moving flap.
