... results (Valanto & Hong, 2015). Subsequently, succeeded in deriving an expression for the longitudinal drift force on a fixed cylinder with vertical sides in head waves by assuming complete the formulation to the drift force due to diffraction effect takes the reflection by the sides of the cylinder...

... ABSTRACT Unlike wave models which analyze each individual wave, phase-averaged wave models focus only on the wave amplitude and can simulate a much larger area. However, its application to a sheltered zone is limited because the diffraction effect is not included. To improve the Phase-Averaged...

... and second order potential solu- tions are compared to corresponding results obtained from experiments. Wave diffraction effects in periodic waves is investi- gated for a range of frequencies at designated loca- tions within the confines of the TLP . The relevance of non linear corrections of order higher...

... the natural frequencies are high (natural periods below 4 s) and the diffraction effect is of importance at resonance. If one intends to proceed with an analytical tool that retains the simplicity and quality of Morison's equation, full diffraction effect must be incorporated in the expression of the exciting...

... examined. From the linear theory, the wave force expression is recasted into the inertia term as shown in the Morison equation, and the equivalent inertia coefficient is defined. The analysis showed that for the dimensionless structure diameter (D/L) less than 0.18, the diffraction effect can be neglected...
