The experimental wave paddle signal is unknown to the numerical modellers in many cases. This makes it quite challenging to numerically reproduce the time history of free surface elevation for irregular waves. In the present work, a numerical investigation is performed using a computational fluid dy...

Recently, a method for numerical reproduction of measured irregular wave events has been developed. The measured motion of the wave maker flaps defines the wave kinematics at the boundary of the numerical simulation in order to generate the waves. When such data are not available, the control signal...

A novel semi-empirical non-linear formulation for fast and efficient computation of the disturbed elevation time series under large-volume platform in steep irregular waves is described and validated against model test data with a single fixed circular column. The method makes use of a linear diffra...
