SUMMARY

An uwestlgatlon has been made to determlne the effect of the various


impact parameters on the maximum Impact pressures on a hull bottom Implnglng
on a water surface.

Pressure measurements were made, using D.V.L. mechanical pressure


recorders, on three hulls, each of 3-ft. beam, in the hull launching tank.
The dead rise angles of these hulls were loo, ZOO, 30' respectively. They
were launched with controlled Impact condltlons of speed, attitude and
acceleration at flight path angles of 8' to lOa, but with freedom in heave
and pitch: further tests were made by vertical drops.

Parallel theoretical studies have been made to lnvestlgate the effect on


the maximum pressure of (1) size of measuring surface, (2) beam loading,
13) freedom to pitch, (4) horizontal velocity, (5) lnltlal vertical accelera-
tlon, (5) departure from the simple wedge shape.

Experimental results show that the maximum pressure measured on a diaphragm


depends on the diaphragm size and posltlon and that It 1s not the true maximum
pressure at that point. The maxunum measured pressures at any given part of
the hull can however be expressed ln terms of the first impact condltlons as

pmax =
Const. (Area Factor) (Velocity Factor)

Where oVn = Resultant velocity normal to the keel at first Impact.


ovv = Vertical velocity at first Impact.
Q = Dead rise angle at the point concerned, measured in the
sectlon normal to the local keel.
Area factor = correctIon factor to give measured maximum pressures over
the area of surface in terms of the true maximum.
Velocity Factor = correctlon factor to allow for the reduction in velocity

and the Constant has a mean value of 54 when pmar 1s measured in lb./sq.ln.

The area and the velocity factors have been evaluated and their
appllcablllty determlned.

When the velocltles Vn, V,, are tnose at the time of the pressure
occurence, and pmax 1s the true maximum pressure, the above formula becomes -

Const.

It reduces further to the Wagner theoretIca form of V-72 cot% for


const.
vertical Impacts at zero lncldence. A theoretical Justlflcatlon for the
form of equation (S-1.) above 1s given for impacts at flight path angles
of the orders of those tested.

Further work both theoretlcal and experimental, 1s required to extend


these results to Include pressures at small flight path angles and in the
planing condltlon.

1, Introductlor.

Pre-VlOUS experiments, model and full sc~ily~ have shown that the most
lTport3nt parameters affecting the Impact pi-essurz‘z on a hull allehtlne on
water ar? (1) dead rise &@le, (2) attitude, (3) velocity normal to the ktel.
Further there has been d?duced the emplrlcal relatlonshlp -
2
ovn cot a
blar.. = K
where ovn = the resultant velocity nornal to the keel at first Impact.

;" = the angle between the surface where the pressure IS measured
and the surface of the watsr,

K = a constant which increases forward and aft of the C.G. and


increases from keel to chlnc.

This formula has been shown to be a good approxlmatlon fo; ,e,,ons In the
vlcuuty of first rmpact both by model tests an z simple wedee ' ,nd by full
scale tests on the Southampxon5, and S~n@pore', The ran:- of impact
eondltlons covered in these tests WBS consloerablr, VIZ~

(1) dead rise angle 5' to 40° (enclitic@ flsred forms),

(2) keel attitude 0' to 23',

(3) resultant speeds in the flight path up to 75 knots,


M
14) static beam loading coefflclents CA0 (= --) = 0.5 (apprOX*),
Fb3
(5) lnltlal downward accelerations 0 to 1 go,

(6) angular velocltles at or subsequent to first impact of up tc


150 per sec. (full scale only).

The above formula 1s however deficient in several respects.


4
Firstly, It IS based only on measurements, ln sll posItions 9 rode1 and
full scale, of the mean maxunum pressure on the surfaces of L ~r,ch -Ilzmoter
diaphragms. Therefore It 1s not obvious that the true peak pressure WhlCh 1s
of a transient nature and extends only over a very small width near the Ed??
of the wetted area 1s elven by the above formula as 1t stands.

Secondly, for the important practical purpose of stresslcg It 1s desirable


to know the mean maximum pressure over any requred area. Eence iir 1nvest1-
t'atlon 1s made ln this report of the 'area factor' which 1s aef:ned as tne
ratlo of the true peak pressure to the mean maximum pressure.

Lastly the viirlatlon of the constant with posltlon on the hull reaulres
examlnaTlon. To do this we define "velocity factor" as the ratlo of the
constant evaluated on the velocltles at Clrst Impact to that evaluated or the
velocltles at the time of maxlmwr pressure on the diaphragm 1n guestlon.
This velocity factor ~111 therefore be seen to depend only an the varlatlon
of velocity during the impact and not on the pressure measured on the
diaphragm.

The obJects of the report are therefore to examine -

(1) the relatlonshlp between the true peak pressures and the 1mpaCt
parameters.

(2) the area factor.

13) the velocity factor.

The experrmental results wLth their analysis form the body of the repor%,
theoretical results and calculations are rn th? apFEndlCES.

2.1 Descrlptlon of Tests.

The experuwnts were made rn the M.A.E.E., Hull Launchng Tank; a


descrlptlon of this tank and the method of operating It 1s given in ref. 1.
Thee hulls, each of 3 ft. beair and of the same basic for", were tested.
The dead rise angles at the step were lo', ZOO, 30'. This dead rise was
constznt from keel to chine and also forward for about half the forebody
length,

The hull and link bars correspond to a flying boat of 1370 lb. while tne
moment of lnertla about a transverse axis ti-nough the C.G. was 6550 lb. fto2,
Hull lines and leadug dimensions are given in Figs. 1 to 3.

The hulls were launched free to heave and to pitch about the C.G.
pasltlon, at keel attitudes of +9O to -a', at horizontal speeds of 0 to 35 ft.
per sec. and vertical speeds of 5 to 8 ft, per sec. Flight path angles
available were 8' to 14', corresponding to stalled landings: some vert1ca1
drops were also made. !YJetalls are given in Tables 4, 5, ‘3.

For each drop time records of pressures, attitudes, and speeds were made
for each of the 25 diaphragms. Details of the positions of these diaphragms
are given Ii-l "n';les 1, 2, 3. Different sizes of diaphragms were used to
lnvestlgate the area factor.

The effect of vertical acceleration was studied by varying the balance


of the parallel link bar motion; a raxge from 0 to 6.3 ft./sec2 was obtained,

DampIng XI pitch ,&as uwestlgated on the 10' hdll using the damper lllu-
strated ln Fig, 4. This was of a sunple frlctlon clutch type. A wire
attached to the bow and stern of the hull was wound round a drum (A). This
drum wds eonstralned in rotation by the pressure from the spring CB); this
could be adJusted by the lock nut (C) thus varying the damplng.

2.2 T,esu1ts.

In this section only the "ax~mum recorded pressures and the corresponding
uutlal and local Impact condltlons are given and no attempt ls made at this
stag@ to express these quaotltles in a generalised form.

Results on the 2a" hull are given first as these included the greatest
varlatlon of speed and attitude. Also the dead rise of 20' 1s "ore repre-
sentatlve of present day practice. A lrst of runs 1s given in Table 4 and
the dlmenslons and posItIon of the diaphragms are grven in Table 1 and Fzg. 1.
The results are detailed in Figs. 5 - 23.

The table at the top of tnese figures grves the maxlmun pressures
recorded on each of the 15 diaphragms and two sets of speeds and attitudes.
The first set gives the condltlons ,,ust before impact 1.e. at time t,. The
vertical and horlzonta.1 velocltles are those of the pressure points at that
trme and the attitude that of the local keelo This set IS of use for
stressug purposes where these condltlons are assumed known. The second set
refer to condltlons at time tl of maximum pressure on the draphrag" and are
prunarlly of use for checkng against theory and establishing the law
connecting pressures and impact velocrtles and geometry. The vertical
acceleration dae to gravity 1s shown at the top of the table. The dlagrarr
below the tables gives a time hlstory of each drop, showing the varratlon Of
attitude and vertical velocltj of the C.G. with trme. A record of the times
of nax~mu" pressures on the diaphragms 1s also shown.

Flgse 24 - 36 give the results on the 30° hull. A list of runs 1s


given in Table 5 and particulars of the diaphragms in Table 2 and Fig. 20
All runs on this hull were made with horizontal veioclty.
A 1;st of runs on t!le 1'30 dead rise null 1s given I> Table r, and the
resJlts 1n Figs, 37 - Cd:, Fartlculars of rhe diaphragms are given in Tabl-
3 and Fig. 3. on t'l1s hull home dampIn& in pitch was applied as ndlcdted
OT t.h- f1-:ure. The m>xlnum pressiras measxed on this hull were conslderacly
treater thar expected and a klgh rate of Ilaphragn failure occurred. It
was not poss1b1e to rq'e-it the tests with new diaphragms.

Tne tlmn at which the msxlmnum pressures are recorded 1s measured directl;
fror the record. This pressure 1s generally built up under one hundredth of
a second, the snaller the dead r~.se angle the snortpr the time. The tune at
wrlch the first keel unpact occllrs was not measured directly tut estlxated
from the geometry of Impact, knowing the varlatlon with time of attltuw,
velocity and vertical alstance of the step above the water.

3. Method of Reductlor

To cse the above results to estlmaLe the mexlmum pressures in any landing
case It 1s necessary to ex~r<ss then as a function of lrrpact velocltles and
attltudts. A s.n-v-y ol? the thecretlcel aspects of the problem 1s given lr
Appendlr I and further details in fippendlces II to IV,

The results of Jones and others, usng 2 in. diameter diaphragms, gave
good agreement with the fornula -

where oVn 1s the velocity nornal to the keel at first rmpact and 0 1s the
angle betwen the plane of the side of the >.cdge and the water snfaa. The
Hull Launching Tank r?suits were first reducf-' m terms of this fornul6,

Results for the reelon aft of the step are nest complete on the 20' hull.

for the afterbody were 47 and 42 respectively showing a sllgnt fall off with
decrease 1n forebody deadrlse. '40 var;atlon of D3 fore and aft along the
afterbody was found.

5. Relation between Maxunum Local Pressures and Impact Parameters

It can be seen from the above that the maxunum pressure measured on a

P max = ~

where the value of D3 1s closely the sane as the theoretical Wagner value of

at first keel Impact, oxJn, o'v, the constant D3 1s repldced by D1 and the
ratio of these observed values as defined by% 1s the observed value of the
c3

Independent of the form of the maxunum pressure relatlonshlp assumzd for the
sane Impact conditions and diaphragm posltlon on a given hull, Its eva1ua-
tlon also obviated any lnaccuracles in rreasur& the press'xe Itself.

The value of this velocity factor ~111 depend theoretically on the value
of the ratlo of the associated mass of water to the mass of the hull,
(Appendix Il.

5.1 Attitude and Posltlon of Pressure Measurement

Yhe attitude of the hull changes between the tine of first keel impact and
the max1llum pressure measurement. It 1s convex-lent to determine what effect
this his on the velocity factor. If we write

attitude after first impact or with lnltlal angular velocity. Thus, wlthzn
the llmlts of experImenta error, the effects of angular velocity on the
velocity factor for any diaphragm may be neglected and the velocity factor
nay be taken as a function of first unpact attitude only.

There therefore remains only the Investigation of the dependence of the


rat10 D 1 on attitude and diaphragm position. A plot of 01 against lnltlal

attitude was therefore made (for runs wth 2.1 ft./seca2 lnitlal acceleration)

Rigs. e3 - 65 for diaphragms 5, 10, and 15 on the 20' hull, These figures

graphs shown in Figs. 66 - 69 for the 20' hull. On the afterbody where there
was only one diaphragm on each cross sectlon a constant value of- % was taken
D3
across its wldtn, ;lesults on the 30' hull were analysed 1n a slmllar manner
and ldentlcal mesn values obtaned. Sufflclent results were not obtained at
any one damping on the 10' hull to draw a similar figure.

From Fig. 66 - 69 the velocity factor 1s known for this hull and hence
the maximum pressure dlstrlbution for any landng.

5.2 Hull Weight

The velocity factors obtained in paragraph 5.1 ~111 be modlfled for


other hulls of different weights as shown theoretlcally in Appendix III.
No experimental evidence has yet been obtalned from the hull launching tank
experiments to confIrm these estimated values, which are based on the
vert1ca1 unpact case of Wagner. Approximately the velocxty factor IS
decreased and the maximum pressure increased at a given point by the multlply-
1ng factor

but this also requulres a knowledge of the effectiw mass of watrr dlsplacr-d.

The beam loadrng of tne hldlls tested 1s of the same order as that of
presen-c day hulls.

5.3 Fltchlng Mownt cf Inertia

The pltchug moment of rnertla ~111 also have some effect on the maximum
pressure when impact takes place away frorr the C,G. so that momentum ca? be
absorbed ln both rotation and translation. No experimental evldencc was
obtalned but theoretlcal values for a rang!? of values of Ll an? i2 are

the experlmental hulls are thus know. only very approximately.

5.4 Vertical Acceleration a'~ Flrs~ Impact

The vertical acceleration dfie to gravity was varied between 0 and


6.5 ft./sec.2 during the tests by changing the weight of the counterbalance
on the swlnglng arms The varlatzon had no effect on tne value of D3 as this
was dependent only on local velocities. The effect of Di can therefore 'be
seen from the varlatlon of- Dl with lrltlal vertical acceleration.
D3
FlgS. 70 - 72 show this effect for dlaprragms 5, 10, and 15 the points blth
different lnltlal acceleration belrg given different sy~~cols~ From these
figures there appears to be little consistent variitlon with acceleration due
to gravrty; so over the range of acceleratrons tested the Effect can be
Ignored. A theoretical treatment of the problem 1s civen III Appendix III,
which also shows the effect to ze small.

5.5 Damplre XI Pitch

The effect of damping was only explored on the 13' bullrlilis where

appears to increase tne pressure ln that regror. It 1s however empnaslsed
that this conclusion IS based on 3 paints and the mean curve for observations

6.1 Model Scale Measurements

An extensive serves of Model Scale measurement was made by Jones on a


wedge dropped ~cto water', These drops were made to xwestigate a variety of
rmpact condltlons, and included a ran@ of attitudes from 0' to 23' and angles
of descent from 90' to 16's Dead rise angles from Co to 22' were exarrlned
but results are compared ln tnls section for aneles of 16' and 22' only as
dead rise angles of less than this are not used 11, present day seaplanes.

These results were x-analysed on the basis of the reductlor formula


ovn ovv cot 2 8 .. .* .. 6.1.
Pnax =-T-- 1
and the average value of D, corrected for area factor was 110 for 16' and
93 for 22' dead rise an$lp. This valx 1s hleher than that r'o~nc for a
sunllar posltlon in the Hull Launchrng Tank , possltly due to BT Ancreased
value of Paast's correctIon on the comparatively short wedges used,

Jones in his analysis obtauied the enplrleal law

where the average value of K was 55. A corrparlson of the curves of (6.1)
and (6.2) and the experimental pwnts 1s giver. in Figs, 82 and a3 for the two
dead rise angles tested. Botn curves show reasonable agreement with the
experimental points which are very scattered.

These were done on a SuQapore and pressure measurements were made on


seven dlaphraems posltloned a~ the step. A comparison beLween these
measurements and pressure estunates based on the fornulae evolved ln this
report are e~ven in Table 14. The values agree well for diaphragms near
the keel but dkscrepancles appear near the chine when the Singapore has a
marked flare not represented on the riull Launching Tank models.

6.3 Full Scale Landlne Tests

A comparison 1s given here between estimated and measured pressures on


the Southampton for two landings. Pressures obtained durlng the landing
shown in Fig. 28 of reference 5 are crven in Table 15 for four diaphragms near
the keel. A comparison between these and tne estimated pressures show them
to be approximately twice the calculated values. This 1s due to the arcraft
otrlkrng a swell (made evident by the rapidly recurring pressure peaks) on
landrng, thus uxreasug Its effective rate of descent relative to the local
water surface. Table 16 LS a comparison between estimated pressures and
pressures given in Fxg. 35 of reference 5. The diaphragms for which
pressures are given cover most of the forebodyo Agreement between measured
and calculated pressure is, in this case, fairly good and shows that the uopact
formulae @ven are reasonably accurate over the forebody.

7. COnClUSlOnS

Experunents in tne Hull Launching Tank show that for the range of flliht
path angles tested the maximum pressures obtained at any one point of a hull
for Impact on a horizontal water surface can be expressed as

where v n and 'v are respectxvely the velocxtles normal to the keel and vertical
xeasured at the time of the maximum pressare, 8 1s the dead rise angle at
the pornt consldered measured on a sectron normal to tne local keel and D3 1s

DS 34601/l 8
a constant. The experimental value of D3 1s equal to 54, and 1s of the .same
order as the theoretical value given by Wagner for the vertical drop of a
simple wedge at zero uxldence.

When the maximum pressure 1s measured or requred over a flnlte area


than a correction factor, the area factor, ~111 give the maxunum value of
dlstrlbuted pressure over that area, as:-

P - v, vv cot2 0
max - D3 (Area Factor)

The value of this area factor carz be taken as equal to the theoretlcal
value given in Appendix II and IS calculable from the theoretical Pressure
distrrbutlon given by Wagner for vertical drops.

The appllcatlon of this result to stressing purposes requires that It be


expressed III terms of the impact condltlons at first unpact. A ve1oc1ty
factor has therefore been estimated from the experunental results which
represents the effect of the change of velocity and attitude between the
first and local xnpacts, then

ovn ovv cot2 6


Pmax =
D3 (Area factor)(Veloclty factor)

where ovn and OVV are the velocities at first unpact measured respectively
normal to the keel and vertically.

The velocity factor varies with the position of the diaphragm on the hull
and with the attitude at first impact. Its value for the hulls tested can
be obtained from posltlon and impact condition from Figs. 66 to 69. It 1.3
unity for all keel positrons at first unpact, but increases w1t.h depth of
immersx3n.

This factor IS shown theoretically to be also dependent on the beam


loading and pltchng moment of uertla. The appllcatux, of the velocity
factor values to other hulls therefore needs correction for these terns.
The order of the correetlons 1s only known theoretlcally for vertlczl impacts
and 1s difficult to apply, so that experiments to ascertaln Its value experl-
mentally are requred. The correction can be very important III regions near
the chuxs.
Experiment shows that the effect of vertical acceleration at first
impact and dampIng in pitch (change of attitude during ~mmerslon) are of
negligible importance. The first result IS supported by theory bur. the
second needs further experimental verification.

Analysis of the results obtalned III earlier Vee shape dropping tests and
full scale shows That these are better satufled by thrs new result than by
the earlier emperlcal form, viz:-
v,2
PiTlaX K co' a
However some lack of agreement full scale 1s found when the fLight path angle
is small.

Further Developments

Due to lunltatlons in the apparatus, and to the techniques both of


measurement and reduction of the results, having to be developed in the
course 05 this, the first ma,~or undertaking with the Hull Launching Tank, the
scope of the present survey 1s somewhat llmlted.
In particular the flrght path angle has been restricted to the order of
8' and over - the stalled on case - so that the known range of validity of
the Vn V law 1s very rzstrlcted. Hence It 1s desirable that both experi-
mental a;d thearetlcal nvestrgatlons should be extended to low flrght path
angles - the fly on case - in which the effect of horizontal plar.lng forces
~111 become evident. This case 1s also of unportance for the dltchlng of
landplanes. Further systematic lnformatlon 1s also requred on the effects
of beam loading, rPoment of lnertla in Pitch and damplng in pitch,

DS 34601/l 9
As the tank length 1s not great enough for mope than first unpact
measurement the study of the effect of the horizontal planing forces at low
flight angles would be facllltated by catapult launching on to the sea of
models large enough to carry the requlslte pressure recording apparatus.

Full scale tests covering the complete trme history of impact are also
deslrable.

30th model and full scale tests requu-e extension to the case of waves.

Lastly the appllcatlon of this work to stressing requrrements requxes an


investlgatlon of the relative severity of the strains imposed by the peak
pressure and the maximum pressure ova- a grven area.

dropplng of straight wedges at zero attitude into water has been extended to
elve the formulae used fn this report 1n which account 1s taken of attitude,

2,l Maximum pressure at the keel

In the orlglnal theory of Van Karman7 a wedge of great length, small


deadrlse angle, and dropped at zero attitude into water "as considered.
Assuming that the associated mass of water was that of a half cylinder, of
radius equal to tr.at of tne wetsed width, the mean pressure over the wetted
surface dnflned by %he rxiersectLon of the wed@ and the undisturbed water
surface was shown tq be

2.6 Impacts with Flnlte Incrdence

In a perfect flud the pressures act normal to tne wetted surface of the

purpose IS shown rn Appendix VII to be defined by -

The Area Fzctor

Wnen a pressure wave has a sharply-defined peak, a diaphragm of funte


width wlil not III general measure the peak pressure but some lower value
dependent on \he average pressure over the diaphragm. Thus, If AB denotes the
diaphragm in Fig. 77 the pressure lndlcated will not be the pea pressure DN
out an average pressure given by the area AaCDE drvlded by AB. This average
pressure depends on

(1) the sharpness of the peak.

(111 the width of the dlaphra@n AB.

(111) the posltlon of the draphragm.

TO relate the maxnnum value of the average pressure to the trae pressure
p-ak Dh, It 1s first necessary to calculate the posltlon of the diaphragm AE
to make the avera@ pressure a maximum.

In Fig. 77 let AB = d and let E be speclfled by the co-ordinate z, then


It 1s requred to choose z so that F(d) 1s a maximum where

F(d) = j"z-d P(Y) dy andy=-ti

On differentlatlng Fld: with respect to z, the value of z for a maxunum


average pressure 1s @ven by the equation _

p(z) - p(z - d) = 0 :II.l)

F2r the vertical Impact of a V-shape at zero lnadence on water, Wagner's
theory gives the pi-eesdre p, as

Thus neglecting var~atlon of il over the time taken for one diaphragm to
to be wetted we may choose a unit of pressure in such a way that

As a first approxlmatlon the term may be neglected as It 1s


small near y = 1. Hence we obtain -

Substituting iae) in (11.1) gives

as the condltlon of maxunum average pressure on the diaphragm.

From equations II.2 the maximum average pressure measured by a diaphragm


of width "d", is

where z IS chosen to satisfy equation II.%

If we define the area factor of the diaphragm to be the ratio of the true
peak to the maximum average pressure measured by the diaphragm zhen

In any particular case the values of d and 8 are known and the value of
z to give a max~"um average pressure can be determIned from equation 11.3.
Hence the area factor may be determlned by meane of equation II.4 for square
or rectangular diaphragms. For circular diaphragms as commonly used the
values are slightly less. The area factors in this case are obtained by
lntegratlng the values obtained for rectangular diaphragms over a circle.
Results for the two forms of meaxr~ng surfaces are glvcn rn Figs. 58 and 5s.

APPENDIX IV

The Effect of Freedom in Pitch

In this appendix the general case of z wedge, free to pitch, drcpplng at


a finite atti?nde into water 1s considered. The effect of lnltlal angular
velocity 1s also examined.

Consider a wedge of Mass M, (Fig. 79) drOppl"g Vertically St? the water
so that at first Impact It has attitude c( o, and angular velocity N 0. Let
Its paint of first Impact be P and let point P be distance "a" from the centre
of gravity, then the momentum equations ~111 be

M(o"v - V,) = rrllVv - a c? cos i,

APPENDIX VI

Velocity and Dead Rise Angle in DIrection of Greatest Slope.

In Appendix I It 1s shown that peak pressures vary approxlraately for a


straight wedge as

Pmax = vnv.?
- C cot2 e

where Vn = velocity normal to keel.

vv = vertical ve1oc1ty.

c = a constant.
8 = dead rise angle.

As 8, the dead rrse angle, 1s taken in the dlrection of greatest slope on


the wedge, and Vn is also taken in this dlrection lt follows that if the wedge
is warped so as to have a sweep in angle Y, 0, the dead rise angle, will be
replaced by 3, the angle of the greatest slope. Sunllarly, the value of Vn
will be that for a direction given by the line of intersection of the plane
of symmetry and the pl.ane contuning this angle.

Consider (Fig. 61) a circular diaphragm OAB on the side of a &e-bottom.


Let its centre 0 be the orlgln of rectangular co-ordinates with Ox and Oz
normal, and Oy parallel to datum. Let the Line OD, be the lntersectlon of
the plane of the diaphragm with a plane lncllned at an angle p to the plane
X02. Then OD is Itself rnclrned at an angle '$ to Oz and it is required to
find the value of b for which 3 1s a maxunum.and slope IS a maximum.

Let the Flanes 20x, ZOy intersect the diaphragm peruneter at the points
A, B. Then A IS the point (i- sin 8, o, P cos 8) and B (0, r cos Y', - r sin v/j
and thus the plane contarnlng the dl.aphragm has the equatron

- x cot e + y tan y + z = 0

The plane makIng an angle wrth plane XOA has equation -

xtana+y=o

2nd so the line OD, intersection of these two planes, has dlrectlon ratios

1; - tan p ; (tan 8 tan v, + cot 81,


and therefore the angle 6 , between OD and 02 1s @ven by -

Differentiatmg this with respect to 8 we find f a max~~m when

1”il = VII cc..5 8 + V T sin &where tan 8 = 3

and "n = velocity normal to keel

VT = velocity parallel to keel
