      This study reports about the wave conditions encountered by the fleet of Maersk Line. Herein, wave conditions refer to integral wave parameters in terms of significant wave height, zero-upcrossing period, and wave direction ...
    • Wave Conditions for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations in Intermediate Water Depths 

      Engebretsen, Espen André (Master thesis, 2012)
      In this thesis, the effects on regular waves when propagating from deep to shallow water have been investigated, assuming linear wave theory. The effects of shoaling, refraction, reflection and diffraction have been studied. ...
    • Wave dispersion in moderate channel turbulence 

      Pilloton, Chiara; Lugni, Claudio; Graziani, Giorgio; Fedele, Francesco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We study channel turbulence by interpreting its vorticity as a random sea of ocean wave packet analogues. In particular, we investigate the ocean-like properties of vortical packets applying stochastic methods developed ...
    • Wave disturbance rejection for monopile offshore wind turbines 

      Smilden, Emil; Bachynski, Erin Elizabeth; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Amdahl, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The dimensions of offshore wind turbine (OWT) support structures are governed by fatigue considerations. For 6‐ to 10‐MW OWTs, wave loads are often dominating in terms of fatigue utilization. The present work proposes a ...
