On Irregular, Nonlinear Waves in a Spread Sea
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimal design and reassessment of offshore structures requires a good understanding of the ocean environment. The motion of the sea surface can be viewed as a three-dimensional, nonlinear ...
Wave Statistics for Intermediate Depth Water—NewWaves and Symmetry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study has been made into the average shape of large crests and troughs during several storms using wave elevation data from the WACSIS measurement program. The analysis techniques adopted ...
Time Domain Simulation of Jack-up Dynamics With the Extremes of a Gaussian Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Random simulations are often used to simulate the statistics of storm-driven waves. Work on Gaussian linear random signals has lead to a method for embedding a large wave into a random sequence ...
Extreme Value Analysis of North Sea Storm Severity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we consider the estimation of North Sea storm severity, for storms with return periods in the interval 100 to 500 yr. The analysis consists of: modeling the tail-distribution ...
Second Order Wave Diffraction Around a Fixed Ship-Shaped Body in Unidirectional Steep Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this research, part of the EU FP5 REBASDO Program, is to examine the effects of second order wave diffraction in wave run-up around the bow of a vessel (FPSO) in random ...
