Abstract

Using Morison's equation and the directional spectrum of surface waves, it is possible to create a stationary random process that is statistically equivalent to the random process of the force exerted by wind-generated waves on a rigid cylinder. This was validated by the results of two small-scale field experiments dealing with wave forces on truncated vertical cylinders and submerged horizontal cylinders.
