Wave diffraction of cylindrical structures with a moonpool with a restricted entrance is
studied using a semianalytical method based on eigenfunction matching. The fluid domain …

For the interaction between ocean wave and bottom-mounted structures, it is often required
to introduce an artificial interface by which the fluid domain unbounded horizontally is …

The second-order diffraction problem by a piston-like arrangement that consists of two
concentric surface piercing cylinders is considered. The developed matched axisymmetric …

The paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the first order and slowly
varying wave exciting forces on a body of simple geometry which is restrained from moving …

This work highlights the importance of the consideration of nonlinearities in the analysis and
design of deep water platforms. The nonlinearities concern both the calculation of the wave …

Placing wave energy devices within close proximity to each other can be beneficial as the
costs of deployment, maintenance and infrastructure are reduced significantly compared to if …

The purpose of this study is the derivation of a closed-form formula for Green's function in
elliptic coordinates that could be used for achieving an analytic solution for the second-order …

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign regarding the hydrodynamic
loading on a three-legged jacket support structure of offshore wind turbines. The campaign …

This work considers the second-order sum-frequency diffraction problem for a stationary
truncated surface-piercing circular cylinder in bichromatic waves. The solution method was …

In order to effectively extract and maximize the energy from ocean waves, a new kind of
oscillating-body WEC (wave energy converter) with moon pool has been put forward. The …
