... for the nonlinear load statistics for their efficient use in design is addressed. The wave load model is validated by simulating the irregular wave exciting forces on a bottom-mounted cylinder tested at the Marine Technology Center at NTNU with a diameter of 6.912 m and draft 19 m full scale [ 3 ] and is found...

..., NewWave was shown to be an acceptable model for the linear part of large waves on intermediate water depth (here ∼17 m). Assuming that NewWave is a good model for the linear part of large crests and troughs, a value for the second-order coefficient required to estimate crest elevation statistics...

Tromans The Wave Crest Sensor Intercomparison Study (WACSIS) was designed as a thorough investigation of the statistical distribution of crest heights. Measurements were made in the southern North...

...Peter S. Tromans; Luc Vanderschuren The statistics of wave crest elevation in a random, directionally spread sea are calculated using a novel approach. The nonlinearity of steep waves is modelled to second order using Sharma and Dean kinematics and a spectral response surface method is used...
