INTRODUCTION

Existing analytical models for the prediction of wave excitation of ocean structures assumethat the amplitudes of waves and structure motions are small in comparison with the wavelengthand the nominal dimension of structures. Thus, the diffraction waves from the structure may beapproximated by a simple harmonic function. These assumptions preclude their application insevere sea states. Large waves, in fact, present a much steeper profile than that of a simpleharmonic function. A precise description of the wave kinematics requires retention and propertreatment of higher order terms of the equation of motion and a proper specification of the waterbody boundary at the free surface. These two factors, which are ignored in linearizedapproximations, are the principle sources of wave nonlinearity. When these nonlinear effects areincluded in the diffraction of waves by a body there are, at second order, interactions at the sumsand differences of the component frequencies of the incident waves. Although the magnitudesof these nonlinear effects are, in general, only second order, they act at frequencies away fromthat of the ambient wave energy, and may therefore be of primary concern. This is especiallytrue when these excitations are near the natural periods of the body motions or where restoringor damping forces are small. With the presence of large waves, second-order effects areimportant corrections to the linearized results.

Theoretical developments of the second-order diffraction problem have until recently beenlimited. Studies on simple geometry of the uniform vertical circular cylinder were conductedby Issacson (Ref 1), Chakrabarti (Ref 2), Molin (Ref 3), Wehausen (Ref 4), Hunt and Baddour(Ref 5), Chen and Hudspeth (Ref 6), Rahman (Ref 7), and Ogilvie (Ref 8). The results are,however, controversial due to the difficulties in the correct treatment of the second-order freesurface boundary condition and a proper specification of the radiation condition for the second-order diffracted waves. Previous studies indicate that a weakly nonlinear diffraction problemmay be reduced to a set of linear boundary problems by the perturbation method. Solutions maybe obtained by Green's function method or the finite element method. Kim and Yue (Ref 9)presented a second-order diffraction solution for an axisymmetric body in constant water depthfollowing the former approach. The solution gives an explicit second-order flow potential interms of wave-source Green functions. The nonlinear forces, accurate to the second order,include slowly varying drift forces and biharmonic forces, which appear at a frequency twice thatof the incident wave. The present study pursues the finite element method approach, which givesthe possibility of addressing a sloping sea bottom of irregular geometry.

An immediate need for these analytical techniques exists at the Naval Civil EngineeringLaboratory (NCEL) in the design of connectors for a pontoon-supported waterfront facility. Therequirement of including a second-order diffraction force in the assessment of extremeenvironmental forces imposed by maximum design waves is an apparent trend in the near future.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group oflarge floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface is defined in Figure 1. Waveactivity around the structures, hydrodynamic loads on the structures, and the resulting motionof the structure are investigated. The water body may be open or partially sheltered, and thewater depth may vary. Relevant waves, including incident, scattering, and radiation waves, aredescribed in a way similar to Stokes' second-order theory. The water body is divided into athree-dimensional (3D) region 0, and a two-dimensional (2D) region 02' The 3D regionincludes areas near structures where the seafloor may change substantially and the 2D regionincludes the remaining areas where the seafloor is reasonably flat. In 3D regions, waves areaddressed in detail in 3D space to account for the effects due to irregular geometries of structuresand the seafloor. In 2D regions, waves are approximated by plane wave theories (Ref 10) interms of free surface parameters for better computation efficiency. Boundaries of these tworegions are illustrated in Figure 1. These boundaries are the radiation boundary, !r', which

truncates the water domain to a finite area, and the border separating the two regions, F, .Waves transmitted beyond the radiation boundary are accounted for in a collective form in termsof parameters on the radiation boundary. Incident waves are specified on the wave inputboundary rF, which coincides with the radiation boundary for convenience, when wind waveexcitations are considered. Other boundaries involved are the sea bottom, rb, the wettedsurfaces of floating structures, Fr, and fixed structures, Fr. Subdivisions of the water body andthe associated boundaries are illustrated in Figure 2.

PROBLEM FORMULATION

A Cartesian coordinate system (OXYZ) fixed to the earth, as shown in Figure 3, isemployed as an inertia reference, where the X-Y plane lies on the mean water surface and theZ coordinate is measured positive upward from the still water. The responses of a floating bodyare described in reference to a body coordinate system, Gxyz, attached to the body, with itsorigin G located at the center of gravity of the body. The xy plane is parallel to the staticwaterplane and the z coordinate is directed vertically upward. For the purpose of computingwave drift forces and moments exerted on the body, a third system of coordinate axes (Gi$i)is defined where its origin is at the center of gravity of the body and is always parallel to thefixed coordinate system OXYZ.

With the assumption that the fluid is inviscid and incompressible and that the flow isirrotational, the relevant wave problems can be addressed using potential flow theory.

Assuming weakly nonlinear waves, the total velocity potential 4 is expressed as aperturbation in the wave slope parameter e a kA < 1:

= 0(1) + C2 0(2) + 0(e 3) (1)

where:

f(1) = first-order velocity potential

0(2) = second-order velocity potential

Further, k is the incident wave number given by the dispersion relationship C02 = gk tanh (kh),and g is the gravitational acceleration. The associated free surface profile j7 is decomposedlikewise:

11 = eT•(1') + e21 a)+ 0(e 3)

This approximation leads to the decomposition of the otherwise nonlinear boundary valueproblem to a set of two linear boundary value problems. The first order problem has beendescribed in Reference 11. This discussion will be limited to the second order.

The first- and second-order potentials must comply with the Laplace equation andappropriate boundary conditions as follows.

Free surface:

Radiation condition: outgoing waves from the floating bodies.

In the above, R = (x2 + y2)112 is the radial distance from the origin of the inertia frame,

and 1. is the normal derivative into the body. The second-order problem is complicated byan

the inhomogeneous forcing term in the free surface boundary condition (Equation 10), which isgiven in terms of quadratic products of the first-order potential. The first-order problem isclassical and a variety of numerical solutions are available. For example, a solution using afinite element scheme has been obtained in a previous study (Ref 11). Equations 10 and 11correlate 0(2) with 0(1). Hence, 0(2) is completely defined once 0(1) is known.

The first-order velocity potential may be expressed in component waves as follows.:

where:

0(1) = first order incident wave potential

0(') = first order diffction wave potential

B() = first order radiation wave potential

For monochromatic incident waves, the time dependency is separated and rewritten:

0) = [ ) ( ) ] ' (13)

Page 9: 1II ll~111111t1111 l1111 - DTIC · A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group of large floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface

Substituting Equation 13 into the second-order free surface boundary condition in Equation 11,a quadratic periodic forcing function is obtained which oscillates at twice the frequency of thelinear waves. As a result, Equation 11 may be written as:

(2) (2) Q(x,y,O)e-it (14)I~t+ g 0 =~~,~

where the quadratic forcing function Q(x,y,O) consists of nine components as follows:

Q(x,y,O) = QU + %I + QBB + (QIS + QS) + (QIB + QBI) + (QSB + QBs) (15)

where:

Q11 = plane wave forcing function which leads to the ordinary Stokes'second-order wave component at double frequency 2W

QSSQBB = self interactions of first-order scattered waves and first-orderradiation waves, respectively

Qis,...,Qas = cross interaction of the first-order terms

where the subscriptions of spatial coordinates indicate partial differential. These quadraticforcing function terms behave like a nonuniform pressure field applied to the free surface in first-order problems as described by Wehausen and Laitone (Ref 12). They generate additionalcylindrical standing and outwardly going progressive waves at the double frequency.

Since Equation 14 is nonhomogeneous, the second-order potential consists of thehomogeneous solution f(2)H and the particular solution t(2)P as:

OCZ) =- M + 2H

-12 + 4(2Z)H)e-12 t (17)

These components satisfy, respectively, the homogeneous and inhomogeneous force surfacecondition (Equation 11), and jointly, the inhomogeneous body boundary condifion, Equation 9or 10. The particular solution may be further separated as:

The radiation components satisfy the same equations as the radiation potentials of thefirst-order potential theory, at the double frequency 2W. Newton's law applies through the useof Bernoulli's equation in the computation of the second-order wave exciting loads, which resultsin the equations of motion at the second ord-r, to be discussed later.

The solution procedure for Equation 14 using finite element method is straightforward,regardless of the complexity of the forcing function on the right-hand side of the equation.

FINITE ELEMENT FORMULATIONS

According to the calculus of variations (Ref 13), the solution to a boundary value problemis the potential which minimizes a certain functional, in terms of the governing equation of theproblem. For 0(2), the functional 11(2) can be expressed as:

llQ fff- (Vi( 2))

2 dQ + f f(4ý)) dS (23)

where:

n1 = fluid domain

Sf = free surface

SB = body boundary

SR = boundary for the radiation condition

The integral (f'f.,) over the unknown free surface in Equation 23 may be approximated

by a Taylor series expansion, in terms of the variables at the mean sea surface.Solutions for the second-order diffraction and radiation boundary value problems may be

formulated using the standard finite element method. The radiatiop boundary condition isimposed on a finite boundary, r2 , at moderate distances from the structures of interest. Theentire fluid inside this boundary is divided into two regions. Each region has the functionalscorresponding to its respective governing equations and associated boundary conditions asfollows:

FINITE ELEMENT DISCRETIZATION

The integral Equations 24 and 25 define the velocity potentials of the water flow over theentire fluid domaii. The fluid and boundaries are thus discretized, as shown in Figure 2, toconform the finite element applications.

The potential 02)' within each element can be approximated in terms of the unknown

nodal values 14• of that element and interpolation functions IN]. In matrix notation:

02)' = [N] {(?0} (27)

The functional ]1(2) is now minimized with respect to the nodal values 4) for a singleelement to determine the flow potential which satisfies the boundary value problem. For tile 3-dimensional case, Equation 27 can be inserted into Equation 24 and written as:

aI) 3 = (2) = 0 (28)

This being true for any variation, 6 t) requires:

an__• = a0 a(4•))2 (29)

(2)

from which parameters ({o2I are to be determined. Because the functional is quadratic, elementEquation 29 reduces to a standard linear algebraic equation, that is:

= [k]{.,}2) -_fI = 0 (30)a (3O)

This transforms the integral equations into a set of linear algebraic equations in the unknownvalue of velocity potential at boundary nodes on all elements.

Stiffness Matrix and Nodal Force Vector for the 3D Element

The element stiffness matrix [k] and the element nodal force vector {f} in Equation 30are given as:

vU = normal velocity

x' = the first order displacements

In the above equation, ne and Se denote that corresponding integrations are taken over a single

element only. The velocity potential, e ), at boundary nodes of a single element consists ofthree components. These are incident, scattered, and radiated potentials. Hence, the elementequations can be written as:

[k]{4?)} = {f}); j = I1,S+D,i,k (33)

Stiffness Matrix and Nodal Force Vector for the 2D Element

Similarly, the element equation for the 2D case can be derived by taking the

differentiation on the functional 11(2) given in Equation 25 with respect to 4).. Then:

Equations deducted from the 2D and 3D elements can be assembled to form a set of

SECOND-ORDER WAVE LOADS ON A FLOATING BODY

Once the second-order velocity potential is determined, the second-order wave loadingon the floating body can be calculated. It is assumed that the vessel undergoes small first-order

motions X(1) from its mean position R(o), and that the pressure can be expanded in a Taylorseries about the hydrostatic pressure at the mean position and the following expression is found:

p = p0) + ep () + c2pC2) + 0(e 3) (39)

where:

hydrostatic pressure: p = - p g Z(°) (40)

first-order pressure: p = _ p g Z(-) _ p dot (41)

(2 -_Ip1# 00 2 - (2 (I' . t 001)

The total hydrodynamic force exerted on the body relative to the coordinate system GiS,is given by the following equation:

where S is the instantaneous wetted surface and )7 is the instantaneous normal vector to the

surface element dS relative to system G0#.

Substitution of the pressure p given by Equation 39 and retaining the integration to thesecond order, one obtains:

P = P(o) + P(i) + e2P12) + 0(e 3) (44)

The instantaneous wetted surface S is composed of two parts, So and s (Figure 2). So is theconstant wetted surface up to the still water line and s is the surface between the still water lineand the wave profile along the vessel.

The second-order forces can be calculated by integrating all products of pressure p and

normal vector 9 which give second-order force contributions over the wetted surface So and s:

Newton's second law, P(I) can be written as:

where [M' is mass of vessel in the air and X () is the first-order acceleration of the center ofgravity of the body. Thus, the first term of the second-order force may be obtained from thefirst-order motion dynamics as:

The second-order force given in Equation 49 can be divided into a steady component and a time-dependent biharmonic wave exciting force. The steady component is a second-order steady wavedrift force calculated from Equation 49 by taking the time average over one wave period. Sincethe flow is periodic, the time average value of Cr is zero. As a result, the second-order steadywave drift force becomes:

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Test Setup and Procedures

A hydraulic model was designed to observe the coupling process of a fixed barge withnonlinear waves in shallow water. The experiment was conducted in a two-dimensional wavetank at the Civil Engineering Laboratory of Texas A&M University. Figure 4 illustrates thegeneral setup of the experiment. The tank was 36 meters long, 0.91 meter wide, and 1.22meters deep. The water depth was maintained at a constant of 20.3 cm throughout the entireexperiment. A rectangular box (101.6 cm by 33.9 cm by 8.4 cm) was placed at roughly 11meters from the wavemaker and centered in the tank, to simulate a barge afloat at the water

17

Page 22: 1II ll~111111t1111 l1111 - DTIC · A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group of large floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface

surface. The box was mounted to a rigid aluminum frame with three legs as shown in Figure4. The box was further ballasted to a neutrally buoyant condition at the draft of 8.4 cm in thestill water

Two load cells were placed at the end of each of the three legs to measure the horizontaland vertical forces, respectively. Each cell provided a capacity of 50 pounds at an accuracy of+ 1 percent of the force applied. The total forces and moments were deduced from thesemeasurements.

A significant influence on the wave activity around the test model due to the closeproximity of side walls of a narrow wave tank is anticipated. The wave forces imposed on thetest model will be different from those experienced in an otherwise open water. However, thistest was intended for validating the numerical procedure. The side walls of the wave tank weresimulated in the numerical procedure to give a fair comparison between the physical andnumerical models.

The experimental waves were generated by a computer-controlled Commercial HydraulicsRSW 90-85 dryback, hinged-flap wavemaker. The water pumped by the flap traveled down thetank channel and evolved into shallow water Cnoidal waves before it reached the barge. Tworesistance-type wave gauges were used to monitor the wave profiles. One was placed at 75 cmforward of the bow along the center line of the tank, and the other at 47 cm aft of the bow,centered between the box and the side of the tank. The accuracy of the gauges was ±1 rmm.Four wave periods were selected intentionally to avoid the resonance frequency of the wave tank.Six wave heights in the range that promised results of well defined Cnoidal wave profiles werechosen for each wave period. The wave parameters used in the test are summarized in Table 1.The Ursell number of these waves varied from 0.5 to 70.

Data acquisition was accomplished using a Hewlett Packard HP-3852A dataacquisition/control unit with an HP-330 workstation. This system was equipped with a 10-channel relay multiplexer (HP-44718A) and an integrating voltmeter operating at a 5-1/2-digitresolution (HP-44701A). Details of the test setup and procedures are described in Reference 14.

Test Results

Twenty-four sets of time history of the wave profiles and the horizontal and verticalforces were recorded. A sample set of these measurements is ,hown in Figure 5. The incidentwave elevation shows good agreement with that predicted by the Cnoidal wave theory in bothwave height and period. However, it is noted that the experimental wave is asymmetric incontrast to the asymmetric mathematical form. This discrepancy grows as the wave heightincreases. This results from the wave generation mechanism used in the test. The force timehistories are similar in shape to that of the wave profile. The time histories of all measurementsare decomposed by Fast Fourier transform up to the third harmonic as follows:

3 X aX(t) = X0 + 1 •-cos (nlt + e)

U-1 2

18

Page 23: 1II ll~111111t1111 l1111 - DTIC · A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group of large floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface

where:

Xo = the mean value

X. = height of the nth harmonic component

en = the phase angle

w = base frequency

The symbols H, X, and Z represent the wave height and the double amplitudes of theforces in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.

It was found that all the mean values and the third harmonics were negligibly small incomparison to the first and the second harmonics, and are therefore not discussed. The resultsof decomposition of the waves are shown in Figure 6. The height ratios of each harmoniccomponent to the resultant wave height were plotted versus the resultant wave height. The sameratios deduced from the theoretical Cnoidal waves are presented in dashed lines in the same plotsfor comparison with the measurements. The measurements are almost identical with theirtheoretical counterparts. It is noted that, for the short period waves, the height ratios remainessentially constant over the range of the total wave height considered. For the long periodwaves, these ratios vary nonlinearly with the increase of total wave height with the first harmoniccomponent decreases and the second harmonic increases. This result clearly demonstrates thetypical nonlinear characteristics of the shallow water waves.

The force time histories are decomposed likewise. For convenience, the components arefurther nondimensionalized in the form of force coefficients as follows:

Cx = XipHilb

C ZIpHilb

where p is the specific weight of water and "I" and "b" are the length and the beam of the box,respectively. These force coefficients are equivalent to the ratios of the heights of the firstharmonic forces to the first harmonic wave height. Figure 7 indicates that these coefficientsremain constant at a specific wave period. This implies that the heights of the first harmonicforces are linearly correlated to the height of the first harmonic wave. The second harmonicterms H2, X2 , Z2 are plotted as functions of the first harmonic wave height H, squared as shownin Figure 8. The units are given in cm for H2 , Newtons for force harmonics, and cm2 for H1

2 .The results, which closely fit the first-order regression line, indicate that the second harmonicterms X2 , Z2, and H2 are linearly correlated to the square of the first harmonic wave height.

The proportionality constants for X2 monotonically increase as the wave period increases,whereas the constants for Z2 generally increase but slightly fluctuate. The proportionality

19

Page 24: 1II ll~111111t1111 l1111 - DTIC · A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group of large floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface

constants for H2 increase as the wave period increases, although the constants are generally very

small compared to those of the forces.

Nondimensional Forces and Wave Heights Versus the Ursell Number

The first and second harmonics of the forces and incident wave height are non-dimensionalized by dividing them by their respective resultants, then compared to the Ursellnumber,

Ur= HL

2

h 3

where h = water depth. The first harmonic ratios exhibit a linear trend and the second harmonicratios present some nonlinearity, as shown in Figure 9. HI/H and X1/X decrease linearly as theUrsell number increases while Z1 /Z remains constant. H2/H and X2/X increase initially thenapproach to a constant value while Z2/Z decreases slightly throughout the range of Ursellnumbers. This trend seems to agree with the previous finding shown in Figure 10 from Sarpkayaand Isaacsson (Ref 15) on nonlinear shallow water wave forces on a vertical circular cylinder.

NUMERICAL RESULTS

The finite element procedure derived in the previous section on theoretical considerationswas executed in a computer program, NAUTILUS, coded in standard Fortran 77 language. Thisprocedure discretized the water body under consideration with a combination of three- and two-dimensional finite element meshes. This feature permitted optimization of computer resourceswhile retaining the essential details of the physical problem under study. The discretizationresulted in a linear matrix, Equation 38, which was treated by a proven procedure based on thefrontal method developed by Irons (Ref 16). The solution gave a complete description of thefluid activity in terms of velocity potentials. NAUTILUS presents the results in a convenientform for practical application, including wave height distribution over the entire water surface,wave-induced forces on the fixed structures, and the dynamic motion of the floating structures.All computations are executed to the second harmonic.

NAUTILUS was used to reproduce the hydraulic model test described in the previoussection on experimental study. The results were used to verify the feasibility of the NAUTILUSprogram. Since NAUTILUS does not include a wave generation mechanism to simulate thewavemaker, the wave tank will be approximated with a channel of infinite length with a steadysecond-order Stokes' wave approaching from one end of the channel. The water body withinthree times of the barge length from the center of the barge is simulated with three-dimensionalelement meshes, while the rest is approximated with two-dimensional element meshes. Thewater body under consideration extends to a distance of ten barge lengths on each side.Figure II illustrates the discretization of the model test setup. Wave parameters used in themodel test are entered into the numerical model for comparison with the forces observed fromthe model test.

The results of the wave forces predicted by the numerical model (in black symbols) arepresented along with the hydraulic model measurements (in white symbols) in Figure 9. The fairagreement between the theoretical and the empirical results strongly supports the approach taken.

CONCLUSIONS

A second-order simulation model for three-dimensional wave-structural couplings inmoderate seas has been formulated. The results confirm the feasibility of reducing a weaklynonlinear free surface problem by the perturbation method. This treatment eliminates the needfor specifying the unknown free surface, and allows the nonlinear problem to be addressed at thewell-defined mean water surface in the perturbation components. Each component forms a well-defined linear boundary value problem that can be solved effectively. The present study solvesthe component boundary value problems with a finite element procedure. This procedure, whichuses a combination of two- and three-dimensional finite elements, gives a good balance betweencomputation efficiency and fair proximation of the physical problem.

The wave-induced forces on a rectangular box held steady at the water surface werestudied both numerically and experimentally to examine the significance of the second-orderforces. The second-order forces were found to increase with the Ursell number, LH2/h3, whichis a measure of the wave steepness and the relative water depth, in a manner closely resemblingthe second-order profile of a Cnoidal eave. This implies that the significance of the second-orderforces is similar to that of the second-order wave amplitude to the total amplitude of Cnoidalwaves. Hydraulic model measurement indicates that the second-order lateral forces induced bysteep waves in shallow water can be as large as 30 percent of the total lateral force. This...onfirms the importance of the second-order forces in high sea states. Actual wave forcesexperienced by ocean structures in rough seas can be much greater than those predicted by lineartheories. More importantly, the additional wave forces may occur at frequencies away from thedesign wave frequency, and coincide with the resonance frequency of the structure of itscomponents and cause adverse effects. Ocean structures for use in high sea states must bedesigned to withstand second-order forces.

EXTENSION OF BERKHOFF'S WAVE THEORY

TO THE SECOND-ORDER WAVE PROBLEMS

BASIC EQUATIONS

Field equation:

V2 4€ - o (A-1)

Free surface equation:

a4 40 Q (A-2)4€o €() + _ = -- , z=O

g az z

where:

Q = -i2w -(V4(Q)2+T -

Bottom Condition:

9+(2) ah a3,C) ah +a¢O)-3+_ + L _ = 0, z =-h(xy) (A3)

ax ax ay ay az

The derivation of the reduced equation starts with basic Equations A-I through A-3 by

introducing dimensionless coordinates with the aid of the characteristic length L = g/W2 at the

free surface and the mean water depth H.

A-I

Page 40: 1II ll~111111t1111 l1111 - DTIC · A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group of large floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface

L = wave lengthH = mean water depth

z h(x,y) = water depth

Introducing:

Equations A-4 through A-6 can be written as:

Assuming the potential function 40 can be written in the form:

40 (xy~z) = Z * (h, P z /) (P(x, y/, z'C)

and developing the function 4p into a Taylor-series with respect to e z/:

41(x,y,z) = Z*(( +ez/i + C12 ( +

Assuming a mild slope:

H EH <<[

Therefore:

4ý(x~y,z) - Z(h, z') o(X, y')(A-10)

A-3

Page 42: 1II ll~111111t1111 l1111 - DTIC · A mathematical idealization of hydrodynamic couplings between waves and a group of large floating or fixed structures in water with a free surface

Substitute Equation A-10 into A-7, and assuming a mild slope (E << 1), we obtain a simplified

equation as

That is,

The left-hand side of the above is a function of (x',y') only, while the right-hand side is a

function of z' only. Therefore:

I o °-P. = -4k 2 (A-11)

(P. a3x/ 2 ay f2

and

Substituting Equation A-10 into A-9:

Therefore:

Therefore, the simplified equations (assuming , << 1) are given as:
