The aim of this paper is to critically assess the methods used for the evaluation of wave-
induced loads on ships examining analytical, numerical and experimental approaches. The …

This paper presents a comparative study of long-time irregular waves and equivalent design
waves (EDW) in terms of geometric similarity and probability of exceedance (POE) …

Extreme waves with large wave heights may cause the biomass loss and catastrophic
damage to the offshore fish cage. This study investigates the hydrodynamic response of fish …

This paper concerns experimental measurements of the interaction of a taut moored floating
body, representing a point absorbing wave energy converter in survivability mode, with …

Ship encounters with abnormal waves are increasingly well documented and it is therefore
important to be able to model such encounters in order to assess the risks involved and …

This paper concerns on the propagation of transient wave groups, focusing at one point in
time and space to generate large waves. A numerical wave tank is developed based on the …

It is important to assess the consequences of ship encounters with abnormal waves due to
the perceived dangers of such encounters. A starting point for this is the assessment of …

In offshore renewable energy design procedures, accurate predictions of extreme responses
are required in order to design for survivability whilst minimising associated costs. At …

For wave energy to be an economically viable energy source, the technology has to
withstand power levels during storms that can be close to 50 times higher than during …

This paper concerns the focused wave slamming induced by a freely rotating flap using
domain-decomposition higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) with fully …
