... of swell waves was also examined through standalone tests as well as the combined motion response when they were superposed with directionally spread wind wave spectra. While the effects of directional spreading and swell are well understood for small amplitude waves, the nonlinear interactions and load...

... is not a cost-effective solution to reduce the operational downtime. Other solutions to reduce the downtime to acceptable levels are required. This paper shows, for a location with strong currents parallel to the coast but also with a predominant swell at a 45° angle with the coast, how numerical modelling...

... where there are strong winds year-round which blow over exceptionally long distances. This unique situation results in spectral forms which are not seen in any other oceanic basin. Southern Ocean wind waves wave climate swell THE WAVE CLIMATE OF THE SOUTHERN OCEAN Ian R Young1 University...

... 10 01 2011 In several practical applications joint environmental description is required. In the last years increasing attention has been given to importance of inclusion of wind sea and swell components in a joint environmental model. Presence of wind sea and swell will affect design...

... of a combined nature, consisting of both wind-sea and swell and should be characterized by a double peak spectrum. Bimodal seas can have a significant impact on the design and operability of fixed and floating offshore structures as well as LNG terminals. Although several separation procedures for the wave...

... a site specific swell, sea and line loading from the submerged caisson connected to the side shell of FPSO. The fully stochastic method was used for estimating damage levels from wave loadings. The component-based method was used for line loading effects. The two kinds of results from each case were...

... (sea and swell), spectral peak period (sea and swell), wind sea direction, swell direction, current speed and current direction. Two approaches for wind sea and swell modelling are proposed. The joint description is developed for three locations at the Norwegian Continental Shelf and for the West...
