Experimental Data of Bottom Pressure and Free Surface Elevation including Wave and Current Interactions
Force plates are commonly used in tank testing to measure loads acting on the foundation of a structure. These targeted measurements are overlaid by the hydrostatic and dynamic pressure acting on the force plate induced by the waves and currents. This paper presents a dataset of bottom force measure...

| description | Force plates are commonly used in tank testing to measure loads acting on the foundation of a structure. These targeted measurements are overlaid by the hydrostatic and dynamic pressure acting on the force plate induced by the waves and currents. This paper presents a dataset of bottom force measurement with a six degree-of-freedom force plate (AMTI OR6-7 1000, surface area 0.464 m × 0.508 m) combined with synchronised measurements of surface elevation and current velocity. The data cover wave frequencies between 0.2 to 0.7 Hz and wave directions between 0<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mo>∘</mo></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> and 180<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow></mrow><mo>∘</mo></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>. These variations are provided for current speeds of 0 and 0.2 m/s and a variation of the current in the absence of waves covering 0 to 0.45 m/s. The dataset can be utilised as a validation dataset for models predicting bottom pressure based on free surface elevation. Additionally, the dataset provides the wave- and current-induced load acting on the specific load cell at a fixed water depth of 2 m, which can subsequently be removed to obtain the often-desired measurement of structural loads. |
