Wave forces by numerical simulation.

A numerical technique is presented which determines accurately and efficiently the forces on submerged structures due to surface gravity waves. The variation of the total forces and the pressure distribution on a rectangular and a semi-circular structure are obtained as functions of the wave positio...
