... are not of interest to the designers for air gap assessment, combination of focus wave, based on NewWave theory, and probability distribution of wave crest is used to generate the most probable extreme wave and applied for the air gap evaluation in this study. The developed extreme wave is first evaluated against...

... Abstract This paper presents an analysis technique for predicting the interaction of large ocean waves with ships and offshore structures specifically with respect to extreme wave loads, green water and the level of structural damage caused. This is a complex problem involving the interaction...

... Abstract Extreme waves can lead to damage to floating offshore structures as a result of airgap problems, greenwater on the deck or slamming to the hull. As the physics of these problems are different, there is no single way of identifying and characterizing extreme waves. As part...

... of asymptotic properties of extremes. A storm can be adequately characterised by its most probable extreme wave or the resultant structural response. This allows us to treat storms, rather than sea states, as the essential random, independent events; to account correctly for uncertainty in the largest wave...

In the experiments extreme waves are generated in three ways: The dispersion properties of gravity waves are used to generate a transient situation in which the energy of the individual waves in a wave train concentrates towards a specified point in time and space, resulting in one extreme wave; Very steep...

... of an extreme wave. Collisions between wave solitons are studied in detail qualitatively and quantita- tiv~ly, and results are obtained for characteristic wave properties: form, attenuation, dispersion, initiation and type of breaking, total pressure head and shock pressures. Results are also in- cluded...
