Description
Summary:In the field of fluid/structure interactions, one question concerns the relevance of structural tests carried out for the validation of the physical models and numerical formulations implemented in the codes. In the "SEAWORTH" programme, simulations 2D were confronted to experimental tests in the elementary structures. Even more, the different tools gave different results, and none of them proved to predict all the different experimental cases properly. These tests were already too complex for a physical model validation exercise. So, a reflection was then initiated on a laboratory test coupled fluid/structure in order to develop a reference experimental database and to use it to evaluate the most recent capacities of the crash codes. The paper presents the experimental part of this work.
