“…The significant wave height was calculated with Wilson's (1965) equation (Eq. (9)) using the wind fetch F and wind velocity U (Goda, 2003), and this wave height was assumed to be equal to the breaker height (Eq.…”

In a slender water body with a large aspect ratio, the angle between the direction normal to the shoreline and the wave direction exceeds 45°, resulting in the emergence of cuspate forelands and the subdivision of a lake, because wind fetch along the principal axis becomes long. In this study, the BG model (a three-dimensional model for predicting beach changes based on Bagnold's concept) was applied to this problem. The 3-D subdivision process of a long slender water body was predicted.

“…In fact, the failure of offshore structures is primarily (>90%) caused by the wave impacts, especially typhoon-induced waves [9]. Consequently, the typhoon-resistant design of offshore structures has been a hotspot for researchers in the past decades [10,11], and the design of floating wind turbines in the South China Sea should take the influence of typhoons into consideration. The sinking of the MV Derbyshire [12] during the passage of Typhoon Orchid in 1980 has clearly demonstrated the importance of typhoon-resistant design for offshore wind farms.…”

Abstract:With the setting of wind energy harvesting moving from coastal waters to deep waters, the South China Sea has been deemed to offer great potential for the construction of floating wind farms thanks to the abundance of wind energy resources. An engineering model describing the wind profiles and wave spectra specific to the South China Sea conditions, which is the precondition for offshore wind farm construction, has, however, not yet been proposed. In the present study, a series of numerical simulations have been conducted using the Weather Forecast and Research model. Through analyzing the wind and wave information extracted from the numerical simulation results, engineering models to calculate vertical profiles of wind speeds and wave spectra have been postulated. While the present paper focuses on the wind profile model, a companion paper articulates the wave spectrum model. For wind profiles under typhoon conditions, the power-law and log-law models have been found applicable under the condition that the Hellmann exponent α or the friction velocity u * are modified to vary with the wind strength. For wind profiles under non-typhoon conditions, the log-law model is revised to take into consideration the influence of the atmospheric stability.
