THE CONTROL OF WAVE ASYMMETRIES IN RANDOM WAVES
The concept of wave asymmetry is reviewed and a prototype wave record is analysed. A three stage non-linear transformation, together with a Fourier transform substitution technique, is described. The method is tested by numerical simulation using statistical analysis procedures. Physical realizations are compared graphically.

Random Wave Simulation in a Laboratory Wave Tank
Most of coastal engineering problems have been studied with monocromatic waves. However, sea waves which arrive at the coast are random. It is very difficult to estimate exactly the influence of these random waves to coastal structures. Then the model tests in a laboratory wave tank using random wave simulation techniques seem to be most desirable way ...

In order to simulate or control the coupled heave–pitch motion of ships in waves as realistically as possible, an appropriate mathematical model must be established in advance.

Most physical model tests carried out to quantify wave overtopping are conducted using a wave energy spectrum, which is then used to generate a free surface wave time series at the wave paddle. This method means that an infinite number of time series can

Experimental study on the turbulent jet in regular and random waves
The flow fields of a vertical round jet in regular and random waves are measured by a 3-D AcousticDoppler Velocimeter. The phenomenon of "twin peaks" is found on the cross-sections of the jet vertical velocity in regular waves when close to the free ...

Generation mechanism and prediction of an observed extreme rogue wave
Rogue waves are individual ocean surface waves with crest height $$\eta$$ η or trough-to-crest height H that are large compared to the significant wave height $$H_s$$ H s of the underlying sea state: $$H/H_s>2.2$$ H / H s > 2.2 or $$\eta /H_s>1.25$$ η ...

Numerical Study of Local Scour around Tripod Foundation in Random Waves
In this study, the local scour around tripods in random waves is numerically investigated. The seabed-tripod-fluid numerical model with an RNG k−ε turbulence model is built and validated.
