The identification of wave groups in wave records is sought in terms of the classical linear analysis techniques in the frequency and time domains. Unwrapping and detrending of the phase spectrum identifies apparent order where none is assumed in the Gaussian random wave model. Similarly unexpected order is observed in the tail of the correlogram of both the wave record and the Rice envelope function. These aspects are strongly suggestive of wave grouping.

Analysis Technique

The complex envelope function is presented as the natural analysis technique for wave records where the identification of wave groups is a dominant interest. Algorithms have been developed and confirmed for separation of the complex envelope function, estimation of the dominant frequency and unwrapping of the phase function. Cross-correlograms and coherence spectra reveal a link between the envelope amplitude and phase traces that appears to be an intrinsic property of wave groups. Nevertheless, the majority of the information in typical wave records can be described as random, accounting for the relative success of the Gaussian random wave model.

Relative Motions

A practical method for prediction of slamming loads and structural responses in the bow of an FPSO is presented. Incoming waves are simulated by a second-order random wave model, which describes the water elevation and kinematics. Vessel motions are calculated by linear analysis. The diffracted wave field is calculated taking into account linear 3D diffraction. Relative motions are then estimated by combining the linear vessel motions, second-order incoming waves and linear diffraction. The relative motions and velocities at the bow are used as input to numerical slamming calculations. The bow is divided into 2D sections and a boundary value problem is solved for each section applying the generalized Wagner-method of Zhao & Faltinsen (1993) and Zhao et al (1996). The 2D slamming calculations account for the local pile-up of water on each side of the section during impact. Structural responses are calculated from a finite-element model of the bow using the exact pressure distribution from the slamming calculations. This is achieved by automatic mapping of pressures onto the outer surface of the FE-model and performing a quasi-static structural analysis for each time-step. The methods are implemented into a package of computer tools, allowing the user to perform the various steps in the process with little manual editing of data. The system runs easily on a standard PC. Measurements on a 1:55 scaled model of an FPSO are used for validation of the bow slamming calculations. The model was equipped with five 3.85m × 1.65m (full-scale) panels in the upper part of the bow for slamming force measurements. The tests were run in storm conditions with steep waves. The calculated slamming force on a panel located at the foremost tip of the bulwark, 12.8 meters above the mean waterline, is compared with measured results for selected extreme slamming events. Considering the complexity of this problem and the relative simplicity of the approach, the agreement is very good.

A numerical modeling approach is applied to investigate the combined effect of wave-current-mud on the evolution of nonlinear waves. A frequency-domain phase-resolving wave-current model that solves nonlinear wave-wave interactions is used to solve wave evolution. A comparison between the results of numerical wave model and the laboratory experiments confirms the accuracy of the numerical model. The model is then applied to consider the effect of mud properties on nonlinear surface wave evolution. It is shown that resonance effect in viscoelastic mud creates a complex frequency-dependent dissipation pattern. In fact, due to the resonance effect, higher surface wave frequencies can experience higher damping rates over viscoelastic mud compared to viscous mud in both permanent form solution and random wave scenarios. Thus, neglecting mud elasticity can result in inaccuracies in estimating total wave energy and wave shape.

The theory of quasi-determinism, for the mechanics of linear random wave groups was obtained by Boccotti in the eighties. The first formulation of the theory deals with the largest crest amplitude; the second formulation deals with the largest wave height. In this paper the first formulation of Boccotti’s theory, particularized for long-crested waves, is extended to the second-order. The analytical expressions of the nonlinear free surface displacement and velocity potential are obtained. The space–time evolution of the nonlinear wave group, when a very large crest occurs at a fixed time and location, is then shown. Finally the second-order probability of exceedance of the crest amplitude is obtained and validated by Monte Carlo simulation.

This paper presents a spectral wave action model to simulate random wave deformation and transformation. The wave model is based on the wave action balance equation and can simulate wave fields by accounting for wave breaking, shoaling, refraction, diffraction and wind effect in coastal waters. It is a finite-difference, phase averaged model for the steady-state wave spectral transformation. The wave model is applied to verify different experimental cases and real life case of considering the several factor effects. The calculated results agree with the experimental and field data. The results show that the wave model presented herein should be useful in simulating the wave transformation processes in complicated coastal waters.
