The deep-water wave basin at ICL was used for the generation of Tests A–C. This consists of 56 individually controlled wave paddles, operating with force-feedback control. The combination of a passively absorbing beach and active wave absorption at the paddles leads to high quality wave measur...
This paper explains why present design practice may be non-conservative in the most extreme seas and outlines a new method by which the tail of the distribution can be defined using a relatively small number of deterministic wave events. This avoids the need to explore the entire distribution ...
The statistics have been calculated for broadbanded, unidirectional, deep-water sea states by incorporating a fully nonlinear wave model into a spectral response surface method. This is a novel approach to the calculation of statistics and, as all of the calculations are performed in the ...
