Experimental observation of a near-motion-trapped mode: free motion in heave with negligible radiation

A simple geometry which exhibits near-motion-trapping is tested experimentally, along with perturbed versions of the structure. The motion of the freely floating structure and the surrounding wave field is tracked and the near-motion-trapped mode is found, characterised by a slowly decaying heave mo...
