Wave Height and Planing Hull Wave Slams in Regular Waves

SNAME Chesapeake Power Boat Symposium, 2016
High-speed planing boats are subject to repeated slamming impacts. These impacts can cause structural damage and discomfort, or even injury, to passengers. The motivation for this research is to determine a relationship between wave height and vertical accelerations of planing crafts.

Nonlinear Reconstruction and Prediction of Regular Waves

Volume 5B: Ocean Engineering; Honoring Symposium for Professor Günther F. Clauss on Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering, 2022
Abstract A method for the reconstruction of nonlinear ocean surfaces is presented and applied to regular waves. From random samples of surface elevation, the method reconstructs the nonlinear features of the observed waves by means of the High-Order Spectral approach.

Numerical solution of regularized long‐wave equation

Communications in Numerical Methods in Engineering, 1993
AbstractA combination of the splitting method and the cubic spline technique has been used to solve a non‐linear regularized long wave (RLW) equation. The accuracy and the stability of the proposed method are discussed. Then, two numerical examples are solved to illustrate the robustness of the algorithm.

Chaotic sound waves in a regular billiard

Physical Review E, 2003
We present experimental results for the ultrasound transmission spectra and standing wave patterns of a rectangular block of fused quartz. A comparison is made between our data and an approximation of the theoretical staircase function for three-dimensional isotropic elasticity.

Water Particle Velocities in Regular Waves

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1985
The Eulerian water particle velocities under paddle-generated regular waves in a closed channel are not always accurately predicted by a conventional application of Stokes’ first, second or fifth order wave theory. Phenomena, which give rise to errors, include mass-transport, the partial clapotis formed by reflection from the spending beach and the ...

Wave Load Acting on Advanced Spar in Regular Waves

Volume 6: Ocean Space Utilization, 2018
Offshore wind turbines have been investigated and developed as one of the renewable energies. In Japan, the research and development of floating type offshore wind turbines have been carried out because the water around the country is too deep to settle the bottom mounted type. In this paper, we investigate the effects of the diameter of

Measurement of Regular Wave Reflection

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1991
The present paper describes the measurement of regular wave reflection. Three methods involving the use of two and three fixed probes are described and developed so as to provide explicit solutions for the incident wave height, reflection coefficient, and the phase of the reflected wave train.

Global regularity for water waves

2016
We will begin by introducing the water waves equations which are a system of evolution equations modeling the motion of waves (like those in the surface of the ocean), and discuss some of the works done in recent years on the question of long-time regularity.

Regular wave conditions in a directional wave basin

2010
This thesis represents a small step toward improved generation of realistic sea states in laboratory wave basins. Experiments were conducted in an offshore directional wave basin equipped with a segmented wave generator. Regular waves were generated for several periods and propagation directions, and the resulting wave elevations were measured ...

On the regular wave kinematics

1998
The present paper investigates some models able to fit a regular wave field, acting a distinction among theoretical methods, derived from Stokes theory, and engineering approximations. The validity of the different methods was tested by using experimental results.
