Breaking Wave Impact on a Slender Cylinder
Publication: Coastal Engineering 2000
Abstract
Large scale experiments have been conducted in the LARGE WAVE CHANNEL of the Forschungszentrum Küste (Coastal Research Centre) in Hannover to investigate the loads acting on a slender circular cylinder attacked by a breaking wave. The wave kinematics, the impact and the cylinder's response were measured simultaneously. For the load measurement two independent methods were used. On the one side pressures were measured and on the other side forces were determined at the bearings. Analysing the data a theoretical description for the two-dimensional impact is confirmed and peak values for the three-dimensional impact are obtained. It is shown that the commonly used calculation method for the impact force fails because the duration of impact is overestimated.
