The effect of wave-current interactions on the hydrodynamic loading of large offshore structures

The influence of wave-current interactions on the fluid loading of large offshore structures has been investigated by extending the conventional diffraction theory approach to include the changes in the incident and scattered wave fields caused by the presence of a steady current. Modifications in t...
