The purpose of the present study is development of a powerful numerical method for calculating second-order diffraction loads on plural vertical cylinder with arbitrary cross sections. According to the present method, second-order wave force can be obtained from a linear radiation potential without solving second-order boundary value problem. The boundary value problem for the radiation potential is solved with the hybrid boundary element method. The computations for circular and rectangular cylinders were carried out and compared with the experiments. In addition, second-order wave forces on twin circular cylinder are calculated with the present method.

A three-dimensional time domain approach is used to study nonlinear wave diffraction by a fixed, vertical circular-cylinder that extends to the sea floor. In this approach, the development of the flow can be obtained by a time-stepping procedure, in which the velocity potential of the flow at any instant of time is obtained by the boundary-element method. In the numerical calculations, the exact body-boundary condition is satisfied on the instantaneous wetted surface of the cylinder, and an extended Sommerfeld condition is developed and used as the numerical radiation condition. The fourth-order Adams-Bashford method is employed in the time stepping scheme. Calculations are done to obtain the nonlinear diffraction of solitary waves and Stokes second-order waves by a vertical circular-cylinder. Numerical results are compared with the available linear and second-order wave-force predictions for some given wave height and wavelength conditions, and also with experimental data. Present horizontal force results agree better with the experimental data than the previous predictions.

The paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the motions of a floating body of simple geometry subjected to harmonic and biharmonic waves. The experiments were carried out in three different water depths representing shallow and deep water. The body is axisymmetric about the vertical axis, like a vertical cylinder with a rounded bottom, and it is kept in place with a soft mooring system. The experimental results include the first order motion responses, the steady drift motion offset in regular waves and the slowly varying motions due to second order interaction in biharmonic waves. The hydrodynamic problem is solved numerically with a second order boundary element method. The results show a good agreement of the numerical calculations with the experiments.

The paper presents an investigation of the slowly varying second order drift forces on a floating body of simple geometry. The body is axis-symmetric about the vertical axis, like a vertical cylinder with a rounded bottom and a ratio of diameter to draft of 3.25. The hydrodynamic problem is solved with a second order boundary element method. The second order problem is due to interactions between pairs of incident harmonic waves with different frequencies, therefore the calculations are carried out for several difference frequencies with the mean frequency covering the whole frequency range of interest. Results include the surge drift force and pitch drift moment. The results are presented in several stages in order to assess the influence of different phenomena contributing to the global second order responses. Firstly the body is restrained and secondly it is free to move at the wave frequency. The second order results include the contribution associated with quadratic products of first order quantities, the total second order force, and the contribution associated to the free surface forcing.

Wave force coefficient variability for cylinders, from wave to wave in a train of periodic waves, has been shown to be dependent on the phase of the force record relative to the ambient flow. The phase varies due to vortex shedding, but the maximum force is approximately constant as seen from this work and the work of other investigators. Thus, the maximum force coefficient is tightly organized according to the Keulegan-Carpenter number and scatter is seen in the phase angle versus Keulegan-Carpenter number. On the other hand, both Cd and Cm have scatter due to these phase differences from wave to wave. For unknown reasons, even when averaged over several wave cycles there is scatter in the results for Cd and Cm. This investigation shows that the maximum force coefficients for a heavily roughened vertical cylinder are tightly arranged according to the Keulegan-Carpenter number and the period parameter. Furthermore, the phase angle is similarly much more organized than for the smooth cylinder.

A mathematical model for the problem of wave diffraction by a floating fixed truncated vertical cylinder is formulated based on Boussinesq equations (BEs). Using Bessel functions in the velocity potentials, the mathematical problem is solved for second-order wave amplitudes by applying a perturbation technique and matching conditions. On the other hand, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation results of normalized free surface elevations and wave heights are compared against experimental fluid data (EFD) and numerical data available in the literature. In order to check the fidelity and accuracy of the Boussinesq model (BM), the results of the second-order super-harmonic wave amplitude around the vertical cylinder are compared with CFD results. The comparison shows a good level of agreement between Boussinesq, CFD, EFD, and numerical data. In addition, wave forces and moments acting on the cylinder and the pressure distribution around the vertical cylinder are analyzed from CFD simulations. Based on analytical solutions, the effects of radius, wave number, water depth, and depth parameters at specific elevations on the second-order sub-harmonic wave amplitudes are analyzed.
