Numerical Simulation of Irregular Wave-Simulating Irregular Wave Train

Journal of Hydrodynamics, 2010
Abstract In real sea states, damage incidents on offshore floating structures are not due to the whole time series of wave elevation characterized as statistical one but due to few extreme waves or wave groups in irregular wave train. So, using CFD tools to precisely simulate predetermined irregular wave train will lay sound basis for understanding ...

Component Wave Interactions and Irregular Wave Kinematics

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1992
The kinematics of an irregular wave is characteristically different from that of a regular wave with similar wave height and frequency in two respects.

Irregular Water Wave Kinematics

1990
There 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, 1978
A 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.

Fluid accelerations under irregular waves

Applied Ocean Research, 1995
Abstract With reference to theoretical models for the prediction of fluid accelerations under irregular waves, comparisons with measured data are reported. Numerical techniques have been developed to filter and differentiate laboratory velocity data collected under irregular waves in order to compute estimates of the local fluid accelerations ...

Ionospheric Irregularities and Waves

2018
Some of the fundamental scientific questions are raised, mainly focusing on the causes of mid-latitude ionospheric irregularities and waves, the upward coupling of energy in the M-I-A system, and the thermal structure. A definition is provided for irregular behaviour with appropriate examples of LSTIDs and MSTIDs in the European mid-latitude ionosphere.

Near Surface Irregular Wave Kinematics

1990
Accurate assessments of the wave kinematics in the near surface zone are extremely important for obtaining reliable estimates of hydrodynamic loads and response of offshore structures. Measurements to verify kinematics models in this area are, however, very rare due to the inherent problems.
