        "abstract": "This final report covers a period of approximately four years, since this contract was initiated in March 1952. Furthermore, even at that time, some of the phases of the work had already been started. In discussing the progress of these different phases, no attempt will be made\nto separate these initial phases from the continuation under this contract. The most important results obtained during the life of this contract have already been published in a series of technical articles.(1, 2, 3) Therefore, in such cases only summaries will be incorporated herein. In cases in which the phases have not reached the publication stage, a more complete outline will be found, \n\nFour phases of this investigation of cavitation will be reported, as follows:\nI. Effect of Pressurization on Cavitation Properties of Water \nII. Mechanics of Fixed Cavitation\nIII. Hydromechanics of Cavitation Damage\nIV. Preliminary field tests of Intensity of Cavitation\n\nPhase I has not been reported in the literature; II, III, and IV have been presented in the references cited.",

        "abstract": "The wave and surge study, Contract NOy-13116,\nhad as its ultimate objective the evaluation of the\nacceptable upper limits of water motion for different\ntypes of waterfront activities carried on in\na modern harbor. Previous experience had made\nit clear that relc1lively little work had been done\nin this field and that few satisfactory instruments\nor techniques were available for the carrying out\nof such a program. Therefore, in order to obtain\nthe objective, it seemed necessary first to\ndecide what field measurements were pertinent;\nnext to develop methods and instruments for obtaining the measurements, then to plan and carry\nout a measurement program, and finally, to\nanalyze and evaluate the data obtained. Since\nthe Los Angeles Harbor was a convenient location\nfor the contractor, and since it is a major\nharbor with a wide scope of activities, it was\nchosen as the site for all of the field tests and\nmeasurements of the project.\n\nA secondary objective of this study grew out\nof the fact that a mole had been constructed recently\nto protect the area of the U. S. Naval Base\nwithin this harbor. This construction had been\nguided by a n extensive model study carried out\nat the California Institute of Technology. It was\ntherefore fell desirable to ascertain, if possible,\nhow nearly the protection afforded by this mole\nagreed with that predicted on the basis of the\nmodel study.",

        "abstract": "Contract OEMsr-207 has been a project operated under Section 6.1 of the National Defense Research Committee. It has been under the general supervision of Dr. John T. Tate, Chief of Division 6, and the detailed supervision of Dr. E. H. Colpitts, Chief of Section 6.i. Under this contract, studies have been carried out under Navy Projects NO-i4iJ NO-i76J NO-i49 and NO-i57J and Army Projects OD-99 and AC-70. In addition, studies have been made\ndirectly for Contract OEMsr-4i8 operating under Division 3 of the National Defense Research Committee, Columbia University, Division of War Research, operating under Division 6, and for other projects as authorized by Division 6.\n\nNearly all of the projects studied have involved the determination of the hydrodynamic forces acting upon projectiles in flight, either in the air or under water. The initiating problem was the study of the streamlined depth charge for the New London Laboratory. Subsequent projects broadened the field of the Laboratory\nwork to include rockets, bombs, mortars, shells, and torpedoes.\n\nThe purpose of this report is to present a brief review of\nthe work carried out by the California Institute of Technology under Contract OEMsr-207 for Section 6.1 of the National Defense Research Committee. This summary includes a review of the types of problems assigned to the project, a description of the equipment developed to make the measurements required for the solution of these problems, a brief resume of the work that was completed\nby the projects, and a short survey of the present state of the field, including the problems that deserve further study.",
