This paper presents the results of wave force tests conducted on three types of offshore support structures considering eight waves and three sea levels to investigate the corresponding wave forces. As a result of this study, it is found that the occurrence of shoaling in shallow water induces a significant increase of the wave force. Most of the test models at the shallow water undergo a nonlinear increase of the wave force with higher wave height increasing. In addition, the larger the diameter of the support structure within the range of this study, the larger the diffraction effect is, and the increase in wave force due to shoaling is suppressed. Under an irregular wave at the shallow water, the wave force to the long-period wave tends to be slightly higher than that of the short period wave since the higher wave height component included in the irregular wave has an influence on the shoaling. In addition, it is found that the influence of shoaling under irregular wave becomes more apparent in the long period.

Abstract A new numerical method for calculating the interaction of steep (nonlinear)ocean waves with large coastal or offshore structures of arbitrary shape is described. The evolution of the flow, and in particular the loads on the structure and the runup around it, are obtained by a time-stepping procedure in which the flow at each time step is calculated by an integral equation method based on Green's theorem. A few comparisons are made with available solutions and results are presented for a typical design wave in shallow water. The method is capable of predicting forces caused by steep waves accurately and without prohibitive computer effort. Introduction The prediction of wave forces on large offshore structures on the basis of linear diffraction theory, which is formally valid for small-amplitude sinusoidal waves, is now an established part of offshore design procedure. Reviews of the approaches generally used have been given by Hogben etal.,1 Isaacson,2 and Sarpkaya and Isaacson.3 To account more realistically for the effect of large wave heights, research recently has been directed primarily toward developing a second approximation based on the Stokes expansion procedure. However, such an approach is of practical value only under restricted conditions, as in the case of anundisturbed wave train described by Stokes second-order theory. In particular, nonlinear wave effects are expected to be of greatest importance for steep shallower waves, and these are precisely the conditions in which a Stokes second-order solution becomes invalid. A numerical solution to the complete boundary value problem without any wave height perturbation procedure is clearly desirable. The approach outlined here is described in detail by Isaacson.4 In this method, the wave diffraction is treated as a transient problem with known initial conditions corresponding to still water in the vicinity of the structure and a prescribed incident wave form approaching the structure. The development of the flow then can be obtained by a time-stepping procedure, in which the velocity potential of the flow at any one instant is obtained by an integral equation method basedon Green's theorem. Comparison with known diffraction solutions can be made only for relatively restricted situations. A few such comparisons have been carried out and arequite favorable. Results also are presented for a typical design wave in shallow water, and these are found to differ significantly from linear theory predictions.

The Impact

This paper studies the influence of three different calculation methods of the second-order low-frequency (LF) wave forces on the tanker responses and hawser/mooring tensions in relatively shallow water region. The vessel-mooring-riser coupled dynamic analysis computer program HARP is used to simulate the coupled dynamic responses of offloading tanker moored to a SPM (Single Point Mooring). Because the SPM is supposed to be deployed in shallow water and the slowly varying drift motions of the tanker are to dominate the motion responses in typical operational conditions, the accurate calculation of LF wave-force quadratic transfer functions (QTFs) becomes important especially for mooring and hawser tensions. Like common practice, the so-called Newman’s approximation and another approximation method without including complicated free-surface integrals are first used to calculate the LF QTFs on the offloading tanker and they are compared with the complete QTF results. Further comparison is performed by calculating the resulting LF wave-force spectra and response time series by using the three different methods. The impact of the three different approaches on vessel surge motions and hawser/mooring line tensions is also addressed.

Abstract An icosahedral-hexagonal shallow-water model (SWM) on the sphere is formulated on a local Cartesian coordinate based on the general stereographic projection plane. It is discretized with the third-order Adam–Bashforth time-differencing scheme and the second-order finite-volume operators for spatial derivative terms. The finite-volume operators are applied to the model variables defined on the nonstaggered grid with the edge variables interpolated using polynomial interpolation. The projected local coordinate reduces the solution space from the three-dimensional, curved, spherical surface to the two-dimensional plane and thus reduces the number of complete sets of basis functions in the Vandermonde matrix, which is the essential component of the interpolation. The use of a local Cartesian coordinate also greatly simplifies the mathematic formulation of the finite-volume operators and leads to the finite-volume integration along straight lines on the plane, rather than along curved lines on the spherical surface. The SWM is evaluated with the standard test cases of Williamson et al. Numerical results show that the icosahedral SWM is free from Pole problems. The SWM is a second-order finite-volume model as shown by the truncation error convergence test. The lee-wave numerical solutions are compared and found to be very similar to the solutions shown in other SWMs. The SWM is stably integrated for several weeks without numerical dissipation using the wavenumber 4 Rossby–Haurwitz solution as an initial condition. It is also shown that the icosahedral SWM achieves mass conservation within round-off errors as one would expect from a finite-volume model.

The objectives of this work are to close some of the knowledge gaps facing designers tasked with designing new offshore structures or upgrading older structures located in shallow waters and exposed to energetic multi-directional waves generated by passing hurricanes or cyclones. This will be accomplished by first investigating and characterizing the natural variability of the maximum wave heights and crest elevations found in multiple 2-hour long realizations of several short-crested shallow-water near-breaking seastates. Following this, the variability and repeatability of peak pressures and peak loads exerted on a 1/35 scale model of a gravity-based offshore structure are explored. The analysis focuses on establishing extreme value distributions for each realization, quantifying their variability, and exploring how the variability is diminished when results from multiple seastate realizations and repeated tests are combined. The importance of considering multiple realizations of a design wave condition when estimating peak values for use in design is investigated and highlighted.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/16bCsMd0OMc
