Estimation of Hydrodynamic Force on Rough Circular Cylinders in Random Waves and Currents (RESEARCH NOTE)
Most of the Codes of Practice (API, BSI, DnV, NPD) uses Morison's equation to estimate hydrodynamic loads on fixed and moving offshore structures. The significant difference in the prediction of the loads mainly arises from the assumption of the values of hydrodynamic coefficients. In this paper by analysing a full scale set of data in large KC's numbers collected from Delta Wave Flume in the N...
متن کاملSynoptic Estimates of Waves and Currents via Real-Time Assimilation of In-Situ Observations
The proposed program will develop the capability of monitoring nearshore waves and currents over large scales, and will allow the timely use of information from in-situ sensors. The specific objectives to be addressed are to: 1. Develop a near-real-time capability for assimilating singleor multiple-point in-situ observations into a phase-resolving wave model; 2. Test and validate the methodolog...
متن کاملWaves on unsteady currents
Models for surface gravity wave propagation in the presence of currents often assume the current field to be quasi-stationary, which implies that the absolute wave frequency is time invariant. However, in the presence of unsteady currents or time-varying water depth, linear wave theory predicts a time variation of the absolute wave frequency and wavenumber . Herein, observations of wave frequen...
متن کاملEstimation of Hydrodynamic Forces on the Cylinderical Smooth Piles to Random Waves and Currents
Most Codes such as API and BSI recommend Morison’s equation to estimate hydrodynamic forces on offshore structures. Significant differences exist among these Codes due to using different methods of analysis and estimation of force coefficients. In this paper, data from full scale tests have been used to evaluate random waves and uniform current actions on the smooth piles. Four time and ...
متن کاملA new numerical model for simulating the propagation of and inundation by tsunami waves A new numerical model for simulating the propagation of and inundation by tsunami waves
A new unstructured grid, finite volume ocean model is described, that is suitable for flooding and drying problems. Here we derive the finite volume analogue of the P 1 −P1 finite element, by interpreting the advective term in the continuity equation in a flux sense. A corresponding non-overlapping control volume is then selected for the momentum equation. The resulting model employs the median...
