Wave Forces on Pile in Surface Zone
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
Volume 115, Issue 4
Abstract
The wave forces in the surface zone for a single pile have been measured with regular waves in a laboratory. Reynolds numbers of up to were used and the KC numbers were in the range 10–55. The wave force was found to be zero at a height above the wave crest elevation and at a maximum approximately below the wave crest elevation. The results have been analyzed in view of the Morison equation, and and coefficients have been obtained. Due to the fact that the measurements have been carried out with Reynolds numbers less than it is recommended for design purposes to use the trend of the and values versus location on the pile as found from the laboratory tests in conjunction with and values as found for the appropriate flow regimes in full scale.
