GKSS collision tests

Creators

Description

The aim of the tests was to develop collision protection for large scale nuclear powered vessels. The scale principles and the experimental procedure used are surveyed. A model law for ship collisions is given; scale interference effects and temperature are considered. Bow patterns and protective structure thickness were tested using models and the results given; these can be applied to real ships. Protection of the collision partner may also be effected by means of a soft bow although the present work does not cover this. (UK)
