None of the above tests specifically address the problem of height distributions under conditions where an energy spectrum is distinctly multi modal. A simple example of such a condition occurs where two narrow-band processes coexist but at well-separated frequencies. In nature, such a condition can arise where a local, wind-driven sea is generated in the presence of low-frequency swell. In general, one would not expect wave heights from this scenario necessarily to be Rayleigh distributed because the.

Download or read book The Distribution of Wave Heights and Periods for Seas with Unimodal and Bimodal Power Density Spectra written by Matthew Michael Sharpe and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observed distributions of wave heights and periods taken from one year of surface wave monitoring near Martha's Vineyard are compared to distributions based on narrow-band theory. The joint distributions of wave heights and periods and the marginal height distributions are examined. The observed significant wave heights and periods of the extreme waves are also studied. Seas are classified by the shapes of their power density spectra. Spectra with a single peak are designated as unimodal and spectra with two peaks as bimodal. Seas are further classified by spectral width, a function of the thee lowest spectral moments. The joint distributions of wave heights and periods from seas with narrow spectral widths take the general shape predicted by narrow-band theory and the statistics of extreme waves for these seas are well described. As spectral width increases, agreement between the theoretical and observed distributions diminishes and the significant wave heights and statistics of extreme waves show increasingly variability. Bimodal seas with wide-banded spectra are found to have larger significant and extreme wave heights and shorter extreme wave periods than unimodal seas of the same width.

Download or read book Wave Mechanics for Ocean Engineering written by Paolo Boccotti and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-07-28 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a unitary way, this monograph deals with a wide range of subjects related to the mechanics of sea waves. The book highlights recent theoretical results on the dynamics of random wind-generated waves, on long-term wave statistics, and on beach planform evolution. A fresh approach is given to more traditional concepts. For example, new evidence from a recent series of small-scale field experiments is used to introduce some crucial topics like wave forces. Also, the book gives some worked examples for the design of offshore or coastal structures. An exciting subject dealt with in the book is the quasi-deterministic mechanics of three-dimensional wave groups in sea storms, and the loads exerted by these wave groups on offshore structures. The text is intended for researchers and graduate students in ocean engineering, but may also be understood by undergraduates. The more complex concepts are explained with examples or more extensive case studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a method to statistically predict peaks, troughs, and peak-to-trough excursions of waves in finite water depth such as waves in harbors, bays, and near-shore and offshore seas. The probability density functions are developed based on the concept that waves in finite water depth are a non-Gaussian random process with parameters which depends on the sea severity and water depth. As an example of application of the present method, numerical computations are carried out for water depth of 8.8 m (28.8 ft) in a sea of significant wave height of 3.2 m (104 ft). The results of computation show that the newly-developed probability density functions of peaks and troughs both reasonably agree with the histograms constructed from measured data obtained during the ARSLOE Project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment, as they make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the concept of random waves for the design of breakwaters, seawalls, and harbor structures is fully explored for easy comprehension by practicing engineers. Theoretical aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by graduate students and researchers.
