Abstract:The main force acting on an offshore structure is usually due to wind-generated random waves. According to the Morison equation, the wave force on a cylindrical member of an offshore structure depends on wave kinematics at the centre of the element. It is therefore essential to accurately estimate the magnitude of wave-induced water particle kinematics at all points in a random wave field. Linear random wave theory (LRWT) is the mostfrequently used theory to simulate water particle kinematics at different node… Show more
