Apologies, cavalier. Mixing names from other multihull threads!
Cavalier - I follow. Rig changes are easier than reworking board and rudder configurations, but changes in one affect the other. Balance.
Thanks, oldmulti - missed that one on your 'multi structural thought' thread. Cavalier -the link to the Damfino review is worth a look. The...
Above items were regarding a White Wings. Here is a review regarding Damfino : <Like all prototypes, Damfino has had to face her compromises...
Cavalier - Not regarding tacking per se, but about mizzen flow and mast tension issues: Multihull Structure Thoughts...
Thanks, oldmulti. I sort of assumed there as nothing inherent in a light tri vs a mono with ballast that would make it not tack well. I presume...
The little one finds about efficacy of cat ketch rigs on multis- trimarans in particular- seems to point toward better performance with the aft...
Thanks John! Carderock is incredible Too funny - my nephew, a plastics engineer, showed me this a few days ago (I ask him lots of questions re....
Just received this book: PHYSICAL MODELS AND LABORATORY TECHNIQUES IN COASTAL ENGINEERING by Steven A. Hughes. jehardiman, dolfiman, and others:...
The above does lead to a specific question: What would be the disadvantage of separating a series of individual wave makers, be they piston or...
Thanks, Dolfiman. A higher res PDF of the English translation is available at http://conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/11299/108277/1/pr039.pdf....
Looked long and hard for this one: "...a translation of a series of four French articles by F. Suquet.l' Fo Bi~sel,9 ,and a group of engineers at...
I played around a bit more with the geometry of the wet-back wave maker from my initial post. Dimensions are in inches: [ATTACH] This is sized...
The aforementioned 1969 thesis 'Theory and Design of a Wave Maker for a Short Flume' included a bit on causes of transverse wave formation on wave...
Dolfiman - I'll warn you, my last college math class was multivariable calculus 40 years ago, and I eventually wound ended up with a BA in Art....
Thank you for recommendation. Getting to 'what really matters' often isn't easy. S.H Salter's work on wave generators has intrigued me for quite...
Found a really cool paper: The magic carpet: an arbitrary spectrum wave maker for internal waves" by Thomas E. Dobra, Andrew G. W. Lawrie, Stuart...
Interesting paper: "Numerical Studies of Directional Wavemaker Performance" by John F. O’Dea and J. Nicholas Newman. A PDF copy is attached....
Dolfiman -Thanks for the link to the LEGI channel. It is a nice 2D tank, but much bigger and heavier than I envision. The Science Museum of...
