A Lagrangian Model for Irregular Waves and Wave Kinematics
Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, 2003It has proven difficult to describe the kinematics in irregular waves satisfactorily, in particular for the surface zone in broad-banded waves. A Lagrangian approach offers distinct advantages in this respect, eliminating the need for extrapolation of solutions or “stretching” of coordinates.

Irregular Wave Forces On A Pile
Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, 1965A study of the forces on a pile caused by irregular waves was conducted in terms of time series analysis, for the pile section that is continually under water. A probability density function of force at a particular depth on the pile has been derived and is shown to be a function of two parameters only.

Waves and irregularities in the solar wind
Reviews of Geophysics, 1974This review is not meant to be for the specialist who already knows the subject area but rather for the nonspecialist who wants a simple physical picture. Therefore some simple calculations are given to show why waves and irregularities in the solar wind are of importance in obtaining a physical understanding of the dynamical processes occurring in the

Ocean Engineering, 2018
This paper examines the effect of the drag and inertia coefficients used in Morison's equation as predicted by some calibration approaches on the short-term wave-induced force acting on a fixed vertical cylinder.

Performance evaluation of a dual resonance wave-energy convertor in irregular waves
Applied Ocean Research, 2018A new waterproof point absorber, named Dual Resonance wave-energy convertor (DR-WEC), is put forward in this paper. A geometry with low viscous effect is adopted for the waterproof outer floater of DR-WEC and two resonance frequencies can be found due to

Irregular Water Wave Kinematics
1990There are several theories and methods to calculate the kinematics of water waves. Most of the theories and methods have been developed for regular waves, like the linear theory, Stokes higher order theories, stream function theory, etc. The stream function theory can also be applied for an irregular surface profile, using the assumption that the ...

Irregular Wave Runup and Overtopping
Journal of the Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Division, 1978A cumulative frequency distribution function for the runup elevation of irregular waves is useful in the design of many coastal structures. Such a relationship would help a designer to quantify trade offs between structure geometry and allowable overtopping.

Prediction of Irregular Wave Overtopping
2023Rates of wave overtopping of structures can be predicted by means of an equation presented in the Shore Protection Manual (SPM)(eg. 7-6, U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, Coastal Engineering Research Center, 1975; Weggel, 1976). Implicit in the use of this equation is the assumption of monochromatic waves; i.e., waves of uniform height and period.
