Abstract
Global wave loads measured on the Tern platform during a very severe storm have been compared with predictions made on the basis of three different models for wave kinematics. The first is the “Newwave” theory, a broadbanded, probabilistic-based model for the extreme waves of a random seastate. The second model involves complex time-domain simulation of random directional seas. Both these theories are used with the Morison equation and realistic force coefficients to predict global forces. The third wave model is the Stokes fifth-order theory with artificial values for the force coefficients, as used in conventional design practice.
