A Wakeful Encounter: How to Master crasher wake
Industry Perspective Crasher wake, a phenomenon prevalent in maritime environments, arises when a high-speed vessel encounters a stationary or slow-moving vessel. The faster vessel’s bow wave interacts with the slower vessel, creating a turbulent wake that can destabilize or even capsize the smaller vessel. This wake can propagate significant distances, posing a hazard to nearby watercraft. Strategic Implications Understanding the complexities of crasher wake is crucial for enhancing maritime safety. Advanced modeling and simulation techniques can aid in predicting and mitigating the effects of crasher wake....
