Abstract: The theoretical prediction of water particle kinematics and pressure field under a progressive periodic wave in the laboratory requires the use of a suitable wave theory. An improved asymmetric stream function algorithm ...

Abstract: Recent laboratory measurements of wave kinematics indicate that the horizontal velocity under the crest is smaller than that under the trough in the range of intermediate to deep water waves. The mathematically correct ...

Abstract: Numerical stream function wave theory with inclusion of inequality profile constraints is presented in this paper. This theory is applicable to waves in shallow to intermediate to deep waters with a coflowing Eulerian ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic forces on taut nylon cable segments with PET shrouds in steady uniform flows are determined experimentally. Commercial 1.25 L (polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are used as shroud material; the cable ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure is presented for computing wave interference effects on multiple, surface‐piercing rigid structures in an ocean of finite depth by the finite element method (FEM). Viscous effects are neglected and ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure for predicting wave diffraction, wave radiation, and body responses of multiple 3‐D bodies of arbitrary shape is described. Viscous effects are neglected, and the hydrodynamic pressure forces are ...
