The Effect of Wave Crests on Wave Forces
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1968
Abstract
This paper deals with wave forces from short crested waves as compared with two dimensional waves. The investigation comprised measurements of wind wave forces on fixed pontoons in a model, and a comparison of wave crest characteristics of wind waves xn model and prototype. The model tests showed that the wave crests have a marked xnfluence on the wave forces. The investxgatxon of model and prototype wave data showed that the crest characterxstxcs of the model waves compared well wxth that of prototype sea.
