Abstract: An integral equation approach is utilized to investigate the influence of tank walls on the hydrodynamic forces experienced by an arbitrary three-dimensional body situated in a narrow wave tank. ...

Abstract: Second-order diffraction theory is utilized to compute the sum-frequency diffraction loads on a deepwater tension-leg platform (TLP) in bidirectional waves. The linear diffraction solution is ...

Abstract: A complete second-order solution is presented for the hydrodynamic forces due to the action of bichromatic, bidirectional waves on an array of bottom-mounted, surface-piercing cylinders of arbitrary ...

Abstract: The influence of tank walls on the mean drift loads on an array of bottom‐mounted surface‐piercing vertical cylinders of arbitrary uniform cross section in a narrow wave tank is investigated theoretically. The problem is ...

Abstract: A theoretical solution is presented for oblique-wave diffraction by a segmented offshore breakwater system consisting of an infinite array of equally spaced vertical barriers oriented at an arbitrary angle to the line ...
