In the 1990s, oceanographers realized that the freak waves posed realistic threats to
offshore and marine engineering. Since then, tremendous efforts from both academia and …

In the course of the propagation of waves from the offshore to the nearshore zone, the wave
may break due to the shoaling effect. Strong impact forces are observed when the breaking …

To minimize scale effects, many experiments involving wave-structure-interaction are carried
out at large scale. To complement such experiments, numerical models capable of …

We examine the implementation of a wave-breaking mechanism into a nonlinear potential
flow solver. The success of the mechanism will be studied by implementing it into the …

Insight is provided into focused wave group runup on a plane beach by means of laboratory
wave flume experiments and numerical simulations. A focused wave group is presented as …

This study investigates a wave-breaking onset criteria to be implemented in the non-linear
potential flow solver HOS-NWT. The model is a computationally efficient, open source code …

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the harmonic structure of hydrodynamic
forces on a fixed and simplified representative floating production, storage and offloading …

Horizontal and vertical impact forces on a coastal bridge deck with girders due to
asymmetric and nonlinear wave loads induced by the action of focused wave groups have …

Monopiles are commonly adopted in marine structures and subject to combined loading
from waves and currents. The nature of superposition of wave and current loads needs to be …

Nonlinear wave interactions and superpositions among the different wave components and
wave groups in a random sea sometimes produce rogue waves with extremely large wave …
