Abstract: The significance of the Keulegan‐Carpenter parameter

Abstract: Wave loads correct to the second order are presented for a sinusoidally moving planar wavemaker. The loads are calculated from eigenseries that are valid for a generic planar wavemaker. The second‐order time‐dependent and ...

Abstract: A representation for nonlinear random waves is obtained from a perturbatioh expansion method. The first‐order wave solution is assumed to be a zero‐mean, Gaussian process. The skewness measure and the skewness kernel for ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of a prototype space‐frame offshore structure to both measured and simulated stochastic wave forces are evaluated. A linearized, nondeterministic frequency domain analysis is made on a two‐dimensional ...

Abstract: Diffraction of linear, monochromatic surface gravity waves by circular cylinders is reviewed by constructing an axisymmetric Green's function by an eigenfunction expansion. This study indicates that the Green's function ...

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 ...

Abstract: The effects of wave groups on damage to the armor layer for nonovertopped, rubble mound breakwaters were analyzed by a large‐scale experiment. Two independent wave grouping parameters were evaluated in the experiment: (1) ...
