Theory and Procedure for Determining Loads and Motions in Chine-Immersed Hydrodynamic Impacts of Prismatic Bodies

"A theoretical method is derived for the determination of the motions and loads during chine-immersed water landings of prismatic bodies. This method makes use of a variation of two-dimensional deflected water mass over the complete range of immersion, modified by a correction for three-dimensional flow. Equations are simplified through omission of the term proportional to the acceleration of the deflected mass for use in calculation of loads on hulls having moderate and heavy beam loading" (p. 1025).
