Data for: Assessing shipping water vertical loads on a fixed structure by convolution model and wet dam-break tests

This datasheet presents experimental data related to the paper "Assessing shipping water vertical loads on a fixed structure by convolution model and wet dam-break tests", published in Applied Ocean Research. It is suggested to cite it as follows:

Hernández-Fontes J.V., Vitola M.A., Esperança P.T.T., Sphaier S.H., 2019. Assessing shipping water vertical loads on a fixed structure by convolution model and wet dam-break tests. Applied Ocean Research. 82, pages 63-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apor.2018.10.022

Experimental data time series are provided in ".txt" files for the three study cases described in the paper, considering the five repetitions . These include:

- Time series of wavefront displacements over the deck (to estimate wavefront velocities) for the five repetitions;
- Time series of water elevations at bow edge (i.e., measurements by VWP at -0.005m from bow edge and freeboard exceedance values used as input of the analytical model) for the five repetitions;
- Time series of vertical loads over the deck for the five repetitions.
