Abstract: The wave motion in the vertical planes containing the loci of free surface elevation peaks in a periodic short‐crested wave, synthesized as the sum of two component waves, is exactly two‐dimensional. It is shown that the ...

Abstract: Small sample size and high sample variability go hand in hand in statistical analyses. In this study, the uncertainties in extrapolations of wave heights from small‐size samples to large return‐intervals are investigated ...

Abstract: A method is developed in which an optimum design of breakwaters s achieved by taking into account wave climatological uncertainties and he potential maintenance risk as function of these uncertainties. Wave climatological ...

Abstract: The use of synoptic atlases of wave climatologies for determining shore line evolution is examined critically. It is concluded that the fineness of discretization of wave height is not too important, as long as energy is ...

Abstract: A numerical solution to periodic nonlinear irrotational surface gravity waves on a horizontal sea floor is developed using an iterative Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). This solution technique is subsequently ...

Abstract: A simple method is developed for calculating a data base of maximum sea states at a given location in deep water under hurricane conditions. The long‐term statistics of maximum sea states under hurricane conditions can ...

Abstract: A method is developed to estimate the statistics of the maximum sea states at a given location under hurricane conditions. The method is based on the statistics of hurricane parameters on record in the area near the location ...
