Abstract. The problem of the null-modes existence and some particularities of their interaction with nonlinear vortex-wave-like structures is discussed. We show that the null-modes are fundamental elements of nonlinear wave fields. The conditions under which null-modes can manifest themselves are elucidated. The Rossby-Hasegawa-Mima (RHM) model is used for the illustration of features of null-modes-waves interactions.

Hull girder ultimate strength, which governs sagging and hogging failures, is one of the most critical failure modes for a ship hull. The Structural Reliability Analysis (SRA) methodology has been used to develop Common Structural Rules (CRS) for tankers and bulk carriers. A linear model for bending moment in extreme weather with a nonlinear correction factor has been adopted in the analysis. It is difficult to conclude on the model uncertainty associated with nonlinear effects of bending moment as, until now, there are very limited studies addressing this topic. In this paper, the nonlinear effect on ship responses will be analyzed, and the potential effect of climate change on ship responses will be investigated with the improved 3D Rankine Panel method using nonlinear wave input. The nonlinear wave input is generated by the HOSM (Higher order Spectral Method) wave model incorporating higher order nonlinear effects, including nonlinear free-wave modulation as well as higher order bound harmonics. The North Atlantic past and projected future wave climates are considered.

This study investigates the use of second-order irregular waves for estimating loads on dropped objects. The theory for the irregular nonlinear wave model is integrated into a motion prediction model to simulate the falling process of a dropped cylinder under irregular waves. Through frequency analysis, the simulated irregular waves are transformed into wave spectrum by fast Fourier transform and compared with the target wave spectrum. A good agreement between simulated wave spectrum and target wave spectrum indicates the validity of the irregular nonlinear wave model. The effects of cylinder mass density, wave amplitude and initial wave phase on the trajectory and terminal conditions of dropped cylindrical object are systematically investigated, and the simulated results are compared with those induced by regular waves.
