Laboratory ``Freak Wave'' Generation for the Study of Extreme Wave Loads on Piles
Publication: Ocean Wave Measurement and Analysis (2001)
Abstract
Large-scale experiments of breaking wave attack on slender cylinders were performed in the LARGE WAVE CHANNEL at the Coastal Research Centre in Hannover, Germany. Using large-scale physical models the influence of scale effects on the real physical mechanisms can be widely minimized. Very steep waves (similar to "freak waves") were generated to investigate extreme breaking wave impacts.
