WIND_TUBE:

This test checks how the wind force on a tube varies with submergence. Here we have a tube 400 feet long which is lowered into the water. This is done twice, once with no wind height variation, and once with a 1/7th power law. For the first case, the wind force is, in fact, proportional to the length of tube above the water. In the second case it is not.

What you are seeing here is the effect of the variation of the wind with height. Now, MOSES treats this variation approximately. It computes the velocity at the "top" and "bottom of the tube and computes the force with the average of these two velocities. This is a bit conservative for the force, but not overly so. Depending on the length of the tube, the moment may not be conservative.

• wind_tube data
• wind_tube log
