This paper studies behavior of ship in head waves, when her bow dips under water, which leads to hydrodynamic forces and moments to be assessed. This paper presents model test data obtained in the test tank on the model of ship bow (hydrodynamic loads on forecastle deck during wave capture) as well as updates the coefficient of flow around the bow. The study also shows that bulwark has negative effect upon safety in these conditions because it significantly increases hydrodynamic loads on the deck.

As the offshore fixed wind turbine developed, more ones will be installed in the sea field with the depth 15–50 meters. Wave force will be one of the main forces that dominate the design of the wind turbine base, which is calculated using the Morison equation traditionally. This method can predict the wave forces for the small cylinders if the drag and inertia coefficients are obtained accurately. This paper will give a series scaled tests of monopile and jacket type base of the offshore wind turbine in tank to study the nonlinear wave loads.

An experimental study of deepwater plunging wave loads on vertical walls and cylinders is reported. Simultaneous measurements of the forces and pressures are obtained. The characteristics of the impact loads are presented and the scaling of pressures from model results to prototype scales is discussed. Overall, the characteristics of forces and pressures vary systematically with the structure’s location relative to the wave-breaking location. Impacts on cylinders are similar to those on a flat plate; however, the presence of the wall has a larger influence on the dynamics of impact compared to that of the cylinder.
