Abstract: The present paper describes the measurement of regular wave reflection. Three methods involving the use of two and three fixed probes are described and developed so as to provide explicit solutions for the incident wave ...

Abstract: The present paper describes random wave forces acting on a slender structural member in the vicinity of the water surface, taking account of the intermittency of submergence. A brief review is initially given of available ...

Abstract: This paper describes random wave forces acting on a fixed, slender, horizontal circular cylinder in the vicinity of the free surface, taking account of the intermittency of submergence and wave slamming. Expressions are ...

Abstract: The sloshing of a liquid in a rigid vertical cylindrical tank of arbitrary section subjected both to harmonic and to irregular base motion is described. Initially, the boundary value problem for the case of an inviscid ...

Abstract: The changes in flow field around an ice mass drifting in a current near a large offshore structure are investigated using potential theory. A formulation in two dimensions is adopted here to allow relatively accurate results ...

Abstract: A numerical method for calculating the transient, second‐order interaction of ocean waves with large fixed offshore structures of arbitrary shape is described. The development of the flow together with the associated fluid ...

Abstract: A time‐domain second‐order method is developed to study nonlinear wave diffraction around a surface‐piercing body of arbitrary shape in three dimensions. The free‐surface boundary conditions and the radiation condition are ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model has been developed for the selection of a design iceberg collision with an offshore structure. The design event is selected on the basis of global sliding force, which is likely to determine whether ...

Abstract: The present paper outlines the numerical calculation of wave interactions with a thin vertical slotted barrier extending from the water surface to some distance above the seabed, and describes laboratory tests undertaken ...
