Summary
Shows how wave loads on fixed bodies can be computed, within a linear framework as well as including viscous effects. The validity of the slender body assumption is addressed and MacCamy and Fuchs’ theory is introduced to account for diameter-to-wavelength ratios which are not very small. The concepts of modal mass and loads are introduced. Nonlinear wave loads such as ringing and slamming are discussed.
