| A simple experiment: Take a plastic cup, put a small hole (an orifice) . Press it in a sink with water below the waterline slowly (speed of a wave). Pull it up slowly. Simple. The simple orifice now function essentially, just like a shock absorber. The hull is also 'glued' down to the water by suction force. This should dramatically change the motion. This effect is easily varied/throttled by merely adjusting the orifice size. |
