RISNonlinear Wave Calculations for Engineering Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Waves in the ocean are nonlinear, random, and directionally spread, but engineering calculations are almost always made using waves that are either linear and random or nonlinear and regular. ...
On the Use of Directional Wave Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Directional wave statistics can be used to optimize the design of offshore structures which are not symmetrical. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any consensus on how directional design criteria should be developed ...
Statistics of Wave Crests From Models vs. Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The analysis phase of the Wave Crest Sensor Intercomparison Study (WACSIS) focussed on the interpretation of the wave data collected by the project during the winter of 1997–98. Many aspects ...
Discussion and Closure: Effect of Sampling Variability on Hindcast and Measured Wave Heights
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Effect of Sampling Variability on Hindcast and Measured Wave Heights
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Estimates of significant wave heights made from finite record lengths have a small but important statistical sampling variability. This variability leads to positive biases in the maximum significant wave height in a storm ...
Wave Crest Sensor Intercomparison Study: An Overview of WACSIS
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Wave Crest Sensor Intercomparison Study (WACSIS) was designed as a thorough investigation of the statistical distribution of crest heights. Measurements were made in the southern North Sea ...
