Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a floating structure that consists of four columns with large diameter. The diffraction theory is used to calculate the wave force of floating structures with large dimensions (TLP). In this study, the diffraction and Froude-Krylov wave forces of TLP for surge, sway and heave motions and wave force moment for roll, pitch degrees of freedom in different wave periods and three wave approach angles have been investigated. From the numerical results, it can be concluded that the wave force for different wave approach angle is different. There are some humps and hollows in the curve of wave forces and moment in different wave periods (different wavelengths). When wave incidents with angle 0 degree, the moment of diffraction force for pitch in high wave periods (low frequencies) is dominant. The diffraction force for heave in low wave periods (high wave frequencies) is dominant. The phase difference between Froude-Krylov and diffraction forces is important to obtain total wave force.

Measuring the diffraction loss for high frequencies, long distances, and large diffraction angles is difficult because of the high path loss. Securing a well-controlled environment to avoid reflected waves also makes long-range diffraction measurements challenging. Thus, the prediction of diffraction loss at millimeter-wave frequency bands relies on theoretical models, such as the knife-edge diffraction (KED) and geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) models; however, these models produce different diffraction losses even under the same environment. Our observations revealed that the KED model underestimated the diffraction loss in a large Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction parameter environment. We collected power-delay profiles when millimeter waves propagated over a building rooftop at millimeter-wave frequency bands and calculated the diffraction losses from the measurements while eliminating the multipath effects. Comparisons between the measurements and the KED and GTD diffraction-loss models are shown. Based on the measurements, an approximation model is also proposed that provides a simple method for calculating the diffraction loss using geometrical parameters.

This study develops new analytical solutions to water wave diffraction by vertical truncated cylinders in the context of linear potential theory. Three typical truncated surface-piercing cylinders, a submerged bottom-standing cylinder and a submerged floating cylinder are examined. The analytical solutions utilize the multi-term Galerkin method, which is able to model the cube-root singularity of fluid velocity near the edges of the truncated cylinders by expanding the fluid velocity into a set of basis function involving the Gegenbauer polynomials. The convergence of the present analytical solution is rapid, and a few truncated numbers in the series of the basis function can yield results of six-figure accuracy for wave forces and moments. The present solutions are in good agreement with those by a higher-order BEM (boundary element method) model. Comparisons between present results and experimental results in literature and results by Froude-Krylov theory are conducted. The variation of wave forces and moments with different parameters are presented. This study not only gives a new analytical approach to wave diffraction by truncated cylinders but also provides a reliable benchmark for numerical investigations of wave diffraction by structures.

Here we consider the evaluation of the the dynamic component of the second order force due to wave diffraction by a circular cylinder analytically and numerically. The cylinder is fixed, vertical, surface piercing in water of finite uniform depth. The formulation of the wave-structure interaction is based on the assumption of a homogeneous, ideal, incompressible, and inviscid fluid. The nonlinearity in the wave-structure interaction problem arises from the free surface boundary conditions, namely, dynamic and kinematic free surface boundary conditions. We expand the velocity potential and free surface elevation functions in terms of a small parameter and then consider the second order diffraction problem. After deriving the pressure using Bernoulli's equation, we obtain the analytical expression for the dynamic component of the second order force on the cylinder by integrating the pressure over the wetted surface. The computation of the dynamic force component requires only the first order velocity potential. Numerical results for the dynamic force component are presented.

Light wave diffraction from multiple superposed volume gratings is inestigated using a perturbative iteration method of the integral equation of Maxwell's wave equation. The host material and index gratings are anisotropic and non-coplanar multiple volume gratings are considered. In this method, the paraxial approximation and lack of backward scattering in conventional coupled mode theory are not assumed. Systematic analysis of anisotropic wave diffraction due to multiple noncoplanar volume index gratings is performed in increasing level of diffraction orders corresponding to successive iterations.

Numerical wave tank is a robust tool by which the nonlinear interactions between the body and the free-surface can be treated in time-domain. In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical wave tank based on the Spectral/Boundary-Element Method is developed, and applied successfully to the study of nonlinear wave diffraction around a submerged circular cylinder. Particularly, it is shown that the high-order wave components of significant wave height are developed in the lee-side of the cylinder and that these waves result in a negative drift force on the circular cylider.

본 연구에서는 기존에 선형파 이론으로 제시된 반무한방파제 주변의 회절에 대한 해를 중첩하여 직립 이안제 주변에 발생하는 회절에 관한 해석해를 제시하였다. 그리고, 이를 이용하여 이안제 전면과 후면, 그리고 전·후면에 작용하는 합성파력에 대한 해를 유도하였다. 이안제 전면과 후면에서는 회절파와 중복파, 이안제 양쪽에서 회절한 회절파와 회절파 사이의 간섭에 의해 상대진폭이 공간상에서 주기적으로 변하는 양상을 보였다. 규칙파, 일방향 불규칙파 및 다방향 불규칙파를 대상으로 직립 이안제에 작용하는 파력을 검토하였다. 규칙파 내습시 이안제 전·후면의 파력을 모두 고려한 최대 합성파력의 경우 회절을 고려하지 않았을 경우에 비해 최대 1.6배까지 파력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 Jung et al.(2021)이 반무한 방파제에 대해 회절효과를 고려하여 검토한 결과인 1.34배보다 큰 수치이다. 이안제에 작용하는 최대파력은 규칙파, 일방향 불규칙파, 다방향 불규칙파 순으로 크게 계산되었다. 파랑이 비스듬히 입사하는 경우 이안제에 수직으로 입사하는 경우보다 최대파력이 크게 나타나는 경우도 발견되었다. 따라서, 이안제를 설계할 때, 회절효과, 이안제 전·후면에 작용하는 파력, 파랑의 입사각의 고려가 중요함을 알 수 있다.

나날이 해안의 개발이 증대되어지고 있는 시점에, 안전한 항만 구조물의 설치와 그와 관련된 설비의 중요성이 증폭되고 있다. 특히 항내의 안전을 위해서 방파제의 건설이 필요한데 이에 따른 파의 회절현상을 이해함으로써 항내에서의 파고 등을 예측하는데 도움이 되리라 생각한다. 파의 변형을 예측하기 위해서는 수치적인 방법인 FDM을 사용하여 포물선형 완경사방정식을 차분함으로써 해를 얻을 수 있었고, 적용대상으로서 개구부가 있는 방파제와 반무한방파제를 선정 하였다. 각각 파의 입사각을 $0^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$로 하여 이 후 파의 변형을 예측하였고, 이의 Diffraction Coefficient와 Amplitude 결과를 도시한 후 Penny와 Price의 해 및 Memos의 해와 비교하였다.

Wave run-up is an important phenomenon that should be considered in ocean structure design. In this study, the wave run-up of a surface-piercing circular cylinder was calculated in the time domain using the three-dimensional linear and fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) techniques. The NWT was based on the boundary element method and the mixed Eulerian and Lagrangian method. Stokes second-order waves were applied to evaluate the effect of the nonlinear waves on wave run-up, and an artificial damping zone was adopted to reduce the amount of reflected and re-reflected waves from the sidewall of the NWT. Parametric studies were conducted to determine the effect of wavelength, wave steepness, and the draft of the cylinder on the wave run-up of the cylinder. The maximum wave run-up value occurred at 0°, which was in front of the cylinder, and the minimum value occurred near the circumferential angle of 135°. As the diffraction parameter increased, the wave run-up increased up to 1.7 times the wave height. Furthermore, the wave run-up was 4% higher than the linear wave when the wave steepness was 1/35. In particular, the crest height of the wave run-up increased by 8%.
