Field experiment on random wave forces acting on vertical cylinders

Wave Loads Computation for Offshore Floating Hose Based on Partially Immersed Cylinder Model of Improved Morison Formula

“…Where 1 P represents the ratio P referring to horizontal wave load in Airy theory, 2 P represents the ratio P referring to vertical wave load in Airy theory, 3 P represents the ratio P referring to horizontal wave load in Stokes two order wave theory, 4 P represents the relative P referring to vertical wave load in Stokes two order wave theory.…”

“…Two smallscale field experiments on the effectiveness of Morison's equation have been carried out by Paolo Boccotti [3]. The agreement between Morison's equation and the observation data is valuable which proved the method presented in an earlier paper [4] to be suitable for field experiments and is recommended for future work. Yang, Wanli [5] presented the expanded Morison equation, which can afford hydrodynamic pressure caused by inner water and outer water simultaneously.…”

The Natural Ocean Engineering Laboratory, NOEL, in Reggio Calabria, Italy: A Commentary and Announcement

“…The wave force was measured by a set of pressure transducers in a horizontal section of the cylinder (Figure 6). A detailed description of these experiments was made by Boccotti et al (2012b).…”

Morison coefficients for a circular cylinder oscillating with dual frequency in still water: an analysis using independent-flow form of Morison’s equation

“…When performing frequencydomain analysis using Morison's equation, the quadratic drag force needs to be linearized (e.g., Gudmestad and Connor 1983). Recent evaluations of the effectiveness of Morison's equation using the data from two small-scale field tests can be found in Boccotti et al (2012Boccotti et al ( , 2013.…”
