REDUCING WATER ENTRY IMPACT LOADS ON MARINE STRUCTURES BY SURFACE MODIFICATION
In this study, the effect of hydrophobicity in reducing the impact forces during the water entry of complex geometries has been demonstrated on bow flare slamming and wet deck slamming. Superhydrophobic surfaces with a contact angle of 1600 and a hysteresis of 30 which shows a wetting regime in the...
