I am looking for a formula to help estimate the water particle velocity in irregular waves specified by Hs and Tp instead of H and T. As a catch,...
A mooring company mentions they use a load RAO method for estimating mooring loads (see "Load RAO method " here). I would like to get background...
Thanks for these book recommendations. I got some useful advice outside this forum too which I am including in case it helps someone else:...
I am looking for recommendations for textbooks on mooring design for complex moorings, such as 3-leg moorings for large buoys or large ships that...
I would like to calculate wave persistence statistics such as the expected duration that wave height would remain below a certain height...
jehardiman and VaurienH - Thanks for these useful references. They are just what I was looking for. I can see anchoring is a topic you can get...
Found this reference, http://wetlands.simplyaquatics.com/d/14871-1/App_g.pdf For our Danforth anchor which weights 1 metric tonne (2204 lbs), the...
A colleague said he expects a 1 metric tonne Danforth anchor in sand to have a 1:20 holding factor, and I'd like to understand where this...
@NavalSArtichoke - Yikes, the water depth is 25m not 1m, which is indeed impossible to have Hs=3m in! My mistake, and thanks for catching it....
Thanks all. I think I am clear now: So as long as waves are breaking due to shallow water, they are all traveling at the same speed no matter what...
I would like to work out the horizontal speed of the fastest breaking wave for a given sea state and water depth. Is there a formula for this? For...
If anyone is looking for these presentations, they are recorded here. If I figure out where the papers can be obtained from, I will post that.
I am just focused on the duration of a slam event, i.e. how long high pressure is experienced when an object impacts the water surface. Does this...
I would love confirmation of my following assumption: the duration of a slam event scales with Froude scaling. So if I make a 1:10 scale model and...
Thanks! Am working my way through these.
I am interested in studies of slamming on the bottom face of a vertical cylinder. I have found articles looking at other shapes (spheres,...
Thanks for this article! In your study, I think your 1kHz sampling rate works out to 333Hz at full scale. If that is correct then a 400Hz sample...
Our buoy is atypical in shape (spar buoy) and could slam in storms. So, what I would like to do is to detect high impact events using the...
The slams occur after the buoy is deployed, in storms. Inside the buoy is machinery that operates over the deployment. In the past sometimes this...
"all it takes is one hit to set the bell vibrating": I am looking to detect the hit, rather than the structural response (ringing). We got some...
