INTRODUCTION
The oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth’s surface and contain 97 percent ofthe Earth’s water.
Less than 1 percent is fresh water and about 2-3 percent is contained in glaciersand ice caps.
The largest ocean on Earth is the Pacific Ocean, it covers around 30% of theEarth’s surface. The third largest ocean on Earth is the Indian Ocean, it coversaround 14% of the Earth’s surface.
Do you know what “Pacific” means? “Peaceful”. Actually when people first found it ,they found it very calm &
peaceful, so they named it “Pacific”. While there are hundreds of thousands of known marine life forms, there are
many that are yet to be discovered, some scientists suggest that there couldactually be millions of marine life forms out there.
At the deepest point in the ocean the pressure is more than 8 tons per squareinch, which is equivalent to one person trying to support 50 jumbo jets.
If the ocean’s total salt content were dried, it would cover the continents to adepth of about 1.5 meters.
The Antarctic ice sheet is almost twice the size of the United States

STUDY OF OCEAN WAVES – WHY?
Oceans has enormous amount of living and non living resources.
In order to explore and exploit the resources, a knowledge on the oceanenvironment is certainly essential.
To explore and exploit the resources a variety of structures are to beinstalled. To design these structures, the environmental loads, i.e., theforces due to waves and currents acting on these structures to beevaluated.
In this context, a thorough knowledge on the physics of waves, currentsand tides is vital for a Naval Architect/Ocean Engineer and hence the calltowards the subject, “Wave hydrodynamics” is extremely important.

TIDES
WHAT CAUSES TIDES ?
Gravity is one of the major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational
attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth. What is Newton’s law of universal gravitation ?

m mF
d
Therefore, the greater the mass of the objects and the closer they are to each other,the greater the gravitational attraction between them.
What is the size of sun with respect to moon? 27 million times larger than moon. So based on its mass, the sun's gravitational
attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to theEarth.
However, the sun is 390 times away from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon.
Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of themoon
Review 2
The rise and fall of the water surface in the ocean due to thegravitational attraction between sun, moon and the earth is called astide
Tides are very long period waves that originates in the oceans andprogress toward the coastlines where they appear as the regular riseand fall of the sea surface.
High tide, Low tide - Tidal cycle (similar to pendulum oscillating from amean position) (image)
Tidal range – up to 15 meters. Chennai - 0.5 to 0.75 m, Hooghly – around 3 m, Gulf of Kutch – 5 to 8 m
and Bay of Fundy – 13 m. Tidal range is used for the generation of power, i.e., power stations using
tidal energy

KEY FEATURES OF TIDES
• High Tide : Wave crest
• Low tide : Wave trough
• Tidal range : Wave height
• Tidal periods depending on location (i.e., stretching
for one cycle) :
• 12 hours, 25 minutes
• 24 hours, 30 minutes
TIDAL BULGES
Gravity is one of the major force responsible for creating tides. Inertia, acts to counterbalance gravity. Gravity and inertias counterbalance results creating two major tidal bulges
“Near side” – Gravitational attraction of moon is more and the force acts to draw thewater closer to the moon, same time the inertia attempts to keep the water in place. Buthere the gravitational force exceeds it and the water is pulled toward the moon, causinga “bulge” of water on the near side toward the moon.
“Far side” - the gravitational attraction of the moon is less because it is farther away.Here, inertia exceeds the gravitational force, and the water tries to keep going in astraight line, moving away from the Earth, also forming a bulge.
Focus only on the stronger celestial influence – moon. Sun also contribute in this cause,and the forces created will be complex.
Review 2
The Earth’s tidal bulges track, or follow, the position of the moon, and to a lesser extent,the sun.
As the moon revolves around the Earth, its angle increases and decreases in relation tothe equator
Hence, the changes in their relative positions have a direct effect on daily tidal heights and tidal current intensity.
CLASSIFICATION OF TIDES
Diurnal: have one high tide and one low tide daily (high latitude)
Semidiurnal: have two high tides and two low tides daily (low latitude)
Mixed: there are two high tides and two low tides daily, but of unequal shape (mid latitude)
Review 2
TYPES OF TIDES AROUND THE WORLD
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PROCESS OF TIDES?
The animation shows the relationship between the vertical and horizontal components of tides.
As the tide rises, water moves toward the shore. This is called a Flood current. As the tide
recedes, the waters move away from the shore. This is called an Ebb current.
Water level goes up in the ocean, flow of water takes place towards the land Tidal flushing A horizontal movement of water often accompanies the rising and falling of the tide. This is
called the tidal current.
The strongest flood and ebb currents usually occur before or near the time of the high and low tides.
The weakest currents occur between the flood and ebb currents and are called slack tides.
In the open ocean tidal currents are relatively weak. Near estuary entrances, narrow straits and inlets, the speed of tidal currents can reach up to several kilometers per hour
Review 2
TIDAL VARIATIONS
The moon is a major influence on the Earth’s tides, but the sun also generates considerable tidal forces.
Solar tides are about half as large as lunar tides and are expressed as a variation of lunar tidal patterns, not as a separate set of tides.
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides—both commonly called spring tides.
One week later, when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, the solar tide partially cancels out the lunar tide and produces moderate tides known as neap tides.
During each lunar month, two sets of spring tides and two sets of neap tides occur

Importance of Monitoring Tides
Navigating ships through shallow water ports, estuaries and othernarrow channels requires knowledge of the time and height of thetides as well as the speed and direction of the tidal currents.
Coastal zone engineering projects, including the construction ofbridges, docks, etc., require engineers to monitor fluctuating tidelevels.
Projects involving the construction, demolition or movement of largestructures must be scheduled far in advance if an area experienceswide fluctuations in water levels during its tidal cycle.
Predicting tides has always been important to people who look to the sea for their livelihood.
Real-time water level, water current, and weather measurementsystems are being used in many major ports to provide mariners andport.
What Affects Tides in Addition to the Sun and Moon?
At a smaller scale, the magnitude of tides can be strongly influenced by
the shape of the shoreline.
The shape of bays and estuaries also can magnify the intensity of tides.
Funnel-shaped bays in particular can dramatically alter tidal magnitude.
The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is the classic example of this effect,
and has the highest tides in the world—around 15 meters.
Local wind and weather patterns also can affect tides.

TIDAL CURRENTS
Astronomical forces are responsible for tide induced currents in oceans and coastalwaters.
Rotary currents:
In the open ocean, the tidal currents usually perform a rotary motion due to Coriolisforce over a tidal period, with constantly changing magnitude and direction
Reversing currents:
Flood current and Ebb current – the tide generating force pushes water mass towardsupstream during flood cycle and drains out during an ebb cycle
Hydraulic currents:
Hydraulic currents are generated due to the difference in tidal elevations betweentwo large ocean bodies connected through a narrow passage, for example SingaporeStrait connecting the South China Sea and Bay of Bengal

WAVES
DESCRIPTION OF WAVES
Waves are periodic undulations of the sea surface
How is it generated?
Winds pumps in energy for the growth of the ocean waves
Wind generated waves starts to develop at wind speeds of approximately 1 m/s at the
surface, where the wind energy is partly transformed into wave energy by surface
shear.
Ultimate strength depends on, fetch, wind velocity and duration of wind
Within the fetch area, continuous energy transmitted helps in the growth of waves.
The energy content keeps on increasing, the state of the sea also keeps on increasing,
this is referred as partially developed sea.
At a certain stage, the energy from the wind no longer helps in the growth of the
waves, and such a situation is referred as fully developed sea.
DESCRIPTION OF WAVES
Motion of the surface waves are considered to be oscillatory
Waves oscillatory motion
Water droplet move in a vertical circle as the wave passes. The droplet moves forward with the wave's crest and backward with the trough
Impose variable and fatigue type loads on offshore and exposed coastal structures.
REGULAR WAVES
The sine (or cosine) function defines what is called a regular wave.
Regular waves are nothing but a simplified mathematical concept.
In order to specify a regular wave we need its amplitude, a, its wavelength, λ , its
period, T.
And in order to be fully specify it we also need its propagation direction and phase at
a given location and time.
Detailed description of a sea surface is not possible hence we uses some necessary
simplifications.
Depending on its directional spreading, waves are classified as:
Long crested waves Short crested waves
2-dimensional waves travel in the same direction
3-dimensional waves travel in different directions

FLUID MECHANICS
GENERAL
The behaviour of waves in the ocean governs the driving forces responsible for
the different kinds of phenomena in the marine environment.
A variety of structures are deployed or installed in the ocean. The design of which
needs an in-depth knowledge on the characteristics of waves which in turn
require understanding of basics of fluid mechanics.
The knowledge of fluid mechanics is essential to understand the principles
underlying the mechanics of ocean waves and its motion in deep or coastal
waters.
Three states of matter that exists in nature namely solid, liquid and gas. Liquid
and gas are referred to as fluids. Fluids undergo continuous deformation under
the action of shear forces.
The main distinction between a liquid and a gas lies in their rate of change in the
density, i.e., the density of gas changes more readily than that of the liquid.
If the change of the density of a fluid is negligible, it is then defined as
incompressible.
TYPES OF FLUIDS
A fluid that has no viscosity, no surface tension and is
incompressible is defined as an Ideal fluid.
For such a fluid, no resistance is encountered as it moves.
Ideal fluid does not exist in nature however, fluids with low
viscosity such as air, water may however be treated as an
ideal fluid, which is a reasonable and well accepted
assumption.
A fluid that has viscosity, surface tension and is compressible
which exists in nature is called as practical or Real fluid.
COMPRESSIBLE AND INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS
The compressibility of a fluid is the reduction of the volume of the fluid due to an
external pressure acting on it.
A compressible fluid will reduce its volume in the presence of external pressure.
In nature all the fluids are compressible. Gases are highly compressible but
liquids are not highly compressible.
Incompressible fluid is a fluid that does not change the volume of the fluid due
to external pressure.
Incompressible fluids are hypothetical type of fluids, introduced for the
convenience of calculations.
The approximation of incompressibility is acceptable for most of the liquids as
their compressibility is very low. However, gases cannot be approximated as
incompressible hence their compressibility is very high
HISTORY IN BRIEF
The theories for a real or perfect fluid of Euler and Bernoulli established in the
mid 18th Century included the conservation laws for mass, momentum or kinetic
energy.
The achievement was followed by considerable progress towards the formulation
of several empirical formulae in the field of fluid mechanics and hydraulics.
Navier, a French Civil Engineer during the early 19th century found that the real or
perfect fluid theory did not yield a good estimation of the forces on structures due
to fluid flow for the design of a bridge across river Seine.
Thus, the viscous flow theory by including a viscous term to momentum
conservation equation was developed by Navier in 1822.
Stokes in 1845 from England also developed the viscous flow theory.
The momentum conservation equation for viscous flow which is still in use is
therefore named after them and is termed as Navier-Stokes equation.
TYPES OF FLOW
Steady and Unsteady flow
Uniform and Non-uniform
Rotational and Irrotational
Laminar and Turbulent
STEADY AND UNSTEADY FLOW
Steady flow: Fluid characteristics such as velocity (u), pressure (p),
density (ρ), temperature (T), etc… at any point do not change with
respect to time.
E.g. Flow of water with constant discharge rate
i.e., at (x,y,z),u p T
0, 0, 0, 0t t t t
Unsteady flow: Fluid characteristics do change with respect to time.
E.g. Behaviour of ocean waves
i.e., at (x,y,z), u p T0, 0, 0, 0
t t t t
UNIFORM FLOW AND NON-UNIFORM FLOW
Uniform flow: At any given instant of time, when fluid properties does
not change both in magnitude and direction, from point to point within the
fluid, the flow is said to be uniform.
1
u0
S t t
Non-uniform flow: If properties of fluid changes from point to point at
any instant, the flow is non-uniform.
E.g. Flow of liquid under pressure through long pipelines of varying
diameter
1
u0
S t t
Steady (or unsteady) and uniform (or non uniform) flow can exists
independently of each other, so that any of four combinations are
possible.
Thus the flow of liquid at a constant rate in a long straight pipe of
constant diameter is steady, uniform flow.
The flow of liquid at a constant rate through a conical pipe is
steady, non-uniform flow.
With a changing rate of flow these cases become unsteady,
uniform and unsteady, non-uniform flow respectively.
COMBINATION OF FLOWS
ROTATIONAL AND IRROTATIONAL FLOW
Rotational flow: A flow is said to be rotational if the fluid particles while
moving in the direction of flow rotate, about their mass centers.
E.g. Liquid in a rotating tank
Irrotational flow: The fluid particles while moving in the direction of flow
do not rotate about their mass centers.
This type of flow exists only in the case of an ideal fluid for which no
tangential or shear stresses occur.
The flow of real fluids may also be assumed to be irrotational, if the
viscosity of the fluid has little significance.
For a fluid flow to be irrotational, the following conditions are to be
satisfied. It can be proved that the rotation components about the
axes parallel to x and y axes can be obtained as
x y
1 w v 1 u wW , W
2 y z 2 z x
If at every point in the flowing fluid, the rotation components Wx, Wy, Wz
equal to zero, then
where, u, v and w are velocities in the x, y and z directions respectively.
x
w vW 0;
y z

u wW 0;
z x
z
v uW 0;
x y
A flow is said to be laminar, if the fluid particles move along
straight paths in layers, such that the path of the individual fluid
particles do not cross those of the neighbouring particles.
This type of flow occurs when the viscous forces dominate the
inertia forces at low velocities.
Laminar flow can occur in flow through pipes, open channels and
even through porous media.
LAMINAR FLOW
A fluid motion is said to be turbulent when the fluid particles move
in an entirely random or disorderly manner, that results in a rapid
and continuous mixing of the fluid leading to momentum transfer
as flow occurs.
A distinguishing characteristic of turbulence is its irregularity, there
being no definite frequency, as in wave motion, and no observable
pattern, as in the case of large eddies.
Eddies or vortices of different sizes and shapes are present
moving over large distances in such a fluid flow.
Flow in natural streams, artificial channels, Sewers, etc are few
examples of turbulent flow.

FORCES ACTING ON FLUIDS IN MOTION
The different forces influencing the fluid motion are due to gravity, pressure, viscosity, turbulence, surface tension and compressibility and are listed below;
• Fg (Gravity force) = Due to the weight of fluid
• Fp (Pressure force) = Due to pressure gradient
• Fv (Viscous force) = Due to viscosity
• Ft (Turbulent force) = Due to turbulence
• Fs (Surface tension force) = Due to surface tension
• Fe (Compressibility force) = Due to the elastic property of the fluid
If a certain mass of fluid in motion is influenced by all the above
mentioned forces then according to Newton’s law of motion, the
following equation of motion may be written;
Ma = Fg + Fp + Fv + Ft + Fs + Fe
Further resolving these forces in x, y and z direction:
Max = Fgx + Fpx + Fvx + Ftx + Fsx + Fex
May = Fgy + Fpy + Fvy + Fty + Fsy + Fey
Maz = Fgz + Fpz + Fvz + Ftz + Fsz + Fez
where M is the mass of the fluid and ax, ay and az are fluid
acceleration in the x, y and z directions respectively
In most of the fluid problems Fe and Fs may be neglected, hence
Ma = Fg + Fp + Fv + Ft
• Then above equation is known as Reynold’s Equation of
Motion
For laminar flows, Ft is negligible, hence
Ma = Fg + Fp + Fv
• Then the above equation is known as Navier Stokes
Equation
In case of ideal fluids, Fv is zero, hence
Ma = Fg + Fp
• Then the above equation is known as the Euler’s Equation of
Motion
EULER’S EQUATION OF MOTION
Only pressure forces and the fluid weight or in general, the body force
are assumed to be acting on the mass of the fluid motion.
Consider a point P (x, y, z) in a flowing mass of fluid at which let u, v and
w be the velocity components in directions x, y and z respectively. ‘ρ’ is
the mass density and ‘p’ be the pressure intensity.
Let X, Y and Z be the components of the body force per unit mass at the
same point.
Mass of fluid in the fluid medium considered is (ρ.Δx. Δy. Δz)
Hence the total component of body force acting on,
x-direction = X (ρ.Δx. Δy. Δz)
y-direction = Y (ρ.Δx. Δy. Δz)
z-direction = Z (ρ.Δx. Δy. Δz)

PATHLINES AND STREAMLINES
A path line is the trace made by a single particle over a period of time.
The path line shows the direction of the velocity of the fluid particle at
successive instants of time.
Streamlines show the mean direction of a number of particles at the
same instant of time.
If a camera were to take a short time exposure of a flow in which there
were a large number of particles, each particle would trace a short path,
which would indicate its velocity during that brief interval.
A series of curves drawn tangent to the means of the velocity vectors are
Streamlines
Path lines and Streamlines are identical in a steady flow of a fluid in
which there are no fluctuating velocity components, in other words, for
truly steady flow.

Differentiating Eqn.43 and at z = 0, we get the wave surface elevationas,
a cos (kx - t) (45)
Wave celerity
If an observer travels along with wave such that the wave profileremains stationery, then the following condition should be satisfied,
(kx - t) constant (46)
Therefore, the speed with which the observer must travel to achievethis condition is given by,

Now differentiating the velocity potential with respect to z leads to,

(54)
Substituting Eqn.53 and Eqn.54 in Eqn.51:
a cosh k(h+z) agk sinh k(h+z)
sin (kx - t) sin (kx - t)cosh kh cosh kh
(55)
From Eqn.47, we can relate the celerity as:

Eqn.59 indicates that wavelength is a function of time period ‘T’ andwater depth ‘h’.
With z = 0, Eqn.55 leads to the Dispersion relation,2 gk tanh (kh) (56)
Now the celerity can be expressed as:

Variation of celerity in different water depth conditions
Waves can be classified according to the water depth (h) andwavelength (L), and the ratio (h/L) is called the relative depth.
h/L less than 1/20 are classified as shallow water waves and h/L isgreater than 1/2 as deep water waves
Table 1: Classification of waves in terms of h/L
Classification h/L 2πh/L tanh 2πh/L
Deep waters > 1/2 > π 1
Intermediate waters
1/20 to 1/2 π/10 to π tanh 2πh/L
Shallow waters < 1/20 0 to π/10 2πh/L
Deep water conditions
We have the wave celerity and wave length expression as:
2 gC tanh (kh)

Shallow water conditions
In shallow water conditions, kh is π/10 or h/L < 1/202 g

Again, we have and
In shallow waters, tanh (kh) is equal to kh or 2πh/L, then
C gh (63)
(64)
The wave speed or wave celerity (C)is :
• In deep waters – C is NOT a function of depth . It is only a function ofwave period
• In intermediate waters – C is a function of depth and period• In shallow waters – C is only a function of water depth
Water Particle Velocities
We have the velocity potential given by,
ag cosh k(h+z)
sin (kx - t)cosh kh
(43)
The horizontal particle velocity is given as,

(61)
Therefore,
agk cosh k(h+z)u cos ( )

Which further reduces to,H cosh k(h+z)

Maximum horizontal velocity is given as,

(67)
Similarly , the vertical water particle velocity ‘w’ and ‘wmax’ isexpressed as,

(68)
And the maximum vertical water particle velocity is expressed as,
max
agk sinh k(h+z)w
cosh kh
max
H sinh k(h+z)w
T sinh kh
or (69)
From Eqns. 62 and 68, it can be understood that u and w are out ofphase by 90 degrees, i.e., when u is maximum, w is minimum and viceversa.
Position of water particle in its orbit during wave propagation
The process indicates that while the water surface at station Xperforms one oscillation in the vertical direction over a wave period Tor a wave propagates by one wave length, water particle completesits orbital path during the same period.
This figure shows another way of visualizing motions of waterparticles in fluid medium.
Water Particle Accelerations
We have the horizontal particle velocity expression as,
agk cosh k(h+z)u cos (kx t)

(62)
Differentiating Eqn.62 w.r.t time, water particle acceleration in x-direction is,

Water Particle Displacements
The expression for the horizontal and vertical water particledisplacement from its mean position is obtained by integrating thewater particle velocity in the x and z direction respectively.

We know the dispersion relation,

Then Eqn.78 can be written as,

Similarly, the vertical particle displacement can also obtained,

With dispersion relation,
(83)
a sinh k(h+z)cos (kx t)

Now we have the expression for horizontal and vertical particledisplacement as shown in Eqn.80 and 83:
Let,
a sinh k(h+z)B

a cosh k(h+z)A

(92)
Thus A is independent of positional depth z, whereas B is dependenton z, implying that horizontal displacements are same over the depth,and vertical displacements vary from maximum of ‘a’ at the surface (z= 0) to zero at the sea bed (z = -h).
This shows that the water particle move in elliptical orbits (paths) inshallow and intermediate waters with the equation of the above form,i.e., Eqn.92.

(96)
Thus, since A = B, it can be understood that in deep waters the waterparticles move in circular path and their diameter keeps decreasingexponentially.
Since it is an exponential variation, the reduction in the displacementfor a wave in deep waters occur drastically.
At a distance beyond – L0/2, (i.e., -1.56 x T2/2), the displacement isnegligible particularly in deep waters.
And it is estimated that the decrease in A and B is less than 4% for z >– L0/2.

1. At what bottom depth would the phase velocity begin to changewith decrease in water depth
2. What is the phase velocity at a bottom depth of 16 m and 4 m
3. Compute the ratio of celerity at the above water depth to deepwater celerity.

Celerity 12.48 m/s 10.43 m/s 6 m/s

Results:
It can be understood that the celerity decreases as the water depthdecreases.
The ratio of the celerity shows that when the wave movesshallower, the order of the difference is almost 50%.
Hence it should be noted that, we should be very careful incalculating the wavelength for the corresponding water depth, forwhich we are interested in designing the structure.

Group Velocity
Wave groups are formed by superimposing any two wave trainsof same amplitude but slightly different wave lengths or waveperiods which progress in the same direction.
When the group of waves or wave train travels, its speed isgenerally not identical to the speed with the individual waveswithin the group of waves.
This resultant surface disturbance can be represented as thesum of the individual disturbance.
Determination of Group Velocity
Consider two trains of regular waves, assuming same amplitude
1 1 1sin ( )a k x t (107)

The combination of two wave yields,

The value of ‘x’, when differentiating with respect to time will givethe velocity.
This velocity is nothing but the velocity with which the entirewaves are going to move as a group, called as group velocity.
Group velocity is obviously different from the velocity with whichthe individual waves will be moving.

Wave Energy
A wave system possesses both kinetic and potential energies, i.e.,
Total energy = K.E + P.E
The kinetic energy is due to the fact that the water particles havean orbital motion and the potential energy is due to the elevationof the water level.
For a sinusoidal wave, the potential energy is given as
2
p
1E ga per unit area of wave surface

Similarly, the kinetic energy can also be expressed as
2
k
1E ga per unit area of wave surface

Therefore the total energy for a regular wave is the sum ofEqn.125 and 126. Hence the total energy per unit area of thewave surface is expressed as,
21E ga

Surface tension effects
The dispersion relation can be expressed as,
2 gk tanh (kh) (128)
This relationship is valid for the deep water waves where thewave length is large.
On the other hand, for short wavelength waves where k is large,the surface tension provides the primary restoring force leadingto wave motion.
After including the surface tension effect, the dispersion relationcan be written as,
2 2g + k k tanh (kh)
(129)
where is the surface tension in N/m
The group velocity of capillary waves, the waves dominated
by surface tension effects, is greater than the phase velocity .
This is opposite to the situation of surface gravity waves (with
surface tension negligible compared to the effects of gravity)
where the phase velocity exceeds the group velocity.

Surface tension only has influence for short waves with wave
length less than few centimetres and for very short wave lengths,
the gravity effects are negligible.
STANDING WAVES
Standing waves are formed due to reflection of waves.
A solid structure such as a vertical wall will reflect the incidentwave.
The amplitude of the reflected wave depends on the wave andwall characteristics.
Standing waves are often occur when incoming waves arecompletely reflected by vertical walls on both ends. When thereflected wave passes through the incident wave a standing wavewill develop.
Consider two waves having the same height and period butpropagating in opposite directions along the x-axis.
When these two waves are superimposed the resulting motion isa standing wave.
The water surface oscillates from one position to the other andback to the original position in one wave period.
The arrows indicate the paths of water particle oscillation.Under a nodal point particles oscillate in a horizontal planewhile under an antinodal point they oscillate in a vertical plane.
If the two component waves are identical, the net energy flux iszero.
The pressure is hydrostatic under a node where particleacceleration is horizontal, but under antinode there is afluctuating vertical component of dynamic pressure.
Velocity potential
The velocity potential for a standing wave can be obtained byadding the velocity potentials for the two component waves thatmove in opposite directions.

Precise evaluation of the wave forces exerted upon the structurein the ocean is extremely complicated.
One of the major step in the calculation of wave forces involvethe selection of an appropriate wave theory to describe theparticle kinematics and displacements for the given design wavecondition.
The linear wave theory can be used if H/gT2 < 0.001 in deep andintermediate water conditions.
However, in general, offshore structures are designed for H/gT2 >0.001 and the linear wave theory underestimates the waveforce.
WAVE LOADS
Hydrodynamic Analysis for Structures
Design wave method Spectral method
Spectral method
An energy spectrum of the sea-state for the location is taken anda transfer function for the response generated.
Collect as much information about waves for the given locationand obtain a spectral density for that location.
For fixed structures, the spectral method is not yet adopted byAPI or any other codes or does not permit its use.
But for floating structures, DNV code allows spectral method in few instances.
Design wave method
Most common method to determine the wave loads onstructures.
This method uses the maximum wave height that may occurduring the design life of the structures.
The 100-year wave is usually chosen as the design wave for thesurvival condition.
The probability of occurrence of that wave is not taken intoaccount.
The force exerted by the waves are most dominant in governingthe Jacket structures design, especially the pile foundation.
Wave loads exerted on the jacket is applied laterally on allmembers and it causes overturning moment on the structure.
Maximum wave shall be used for design of offshore structures.The relationship between significant wave height (Hs) andmaximum wave height (Hmax) is:
Hmax = 1.86 Hs
The equation corresponds to a computation based on 1000waves in a record.
Design Wave HeightsMaximum design waves in various regions
API RP2A requires both 1 year and 100 year recurrence waveto be used for the design of jacket and piles.
Using 1 year (normal operating conditions) and 100 year(special conditions, increase the stresses on thestructures)data, appropriate load combinations shall be used inthe design.
Wave Currents
Ocean currents induce drag on offshore structures.
Together with the action of waves, these currents generatedynamic loads.
Simple sea current could cause due to winds by dragging shearon the surface of water.
The forces due to the tidal currents should be considered atplaces where the tidal variation is high
How to estimate wave and current loading on the structure?
MORISON EQUATION
Morison Equation is a general form and cannot be applied to allmembers in the offshore structures. Developed specifically for asurface piercing cylinder.
Wave and current loading can be calculated using Morison Equation
Basis of Morison Equation:
Flow is assumed to be not disturbed by the presence of thestructure
Force calculation is empirical calibrated by experimentalresults (semi-empirical method)
Suitable coefficients need to be used depending on the shapeof the body or structure
Validity range shall be checked before use and generallysuitable for most jacket type structures where D/L << 0.2,where D is the diameter of the structural member and L is thewave length.
Wave forces predicted by Morison equation confirms very wellas long as the D/L << 0.2.
FT – total force
CD & CM – drag and inertia coefficients, respectively
D – diameter of the member (incl. marine growth)
V – velocity of flow (vector sum of wave & current)
a – acceleration of the water particle
w – density of water
FD V2
FI volume x density x acceleration
FT - varies with space and time
Drag component Inertia component

Morison Equation
Selection of CD and CM
Empirical coefficients to be used in Morison Equation correlated with experimental data
Coefficients depend on shape of the structure, surface roughness, flow velocity and direction of flow
Extensive research on various shapes available
API RP 2A provides enough information on circular cylinders
DNV recommendation can be used for non-circular cylinders
CD , CM charts available in literature, which can be used for the selection process for many type of sections.
Selection of Wave Theory
Water depth, d = 60 m
Wave height, H = 12 m
Wave period, Tapp = 10 s
Calculate H/gTapp2 = 0.012
Calculate d/gTapp2 = 0.06
For the calculated values, Stoke’s Fifth Order wave theory is selected
How to select?

Establish Wave Height, Period and Current Distribution along thedepth
Establish Wave Theory applicable for H, T, d
Estimation of water particle kinematics including wave-currentinteraction
Establish Cd and Cm
Establish Marine Growth
Required reduction factors depending on the structure
