| Description |
This was a joint project with the
Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory (NCEL), and an adjunct to Project
No. 58. The objective was to investigate developing conditional ocean wave
simulation models which include extreme events. Methods for estimating a directional wave
spectrum from various ocean sensors were developed and are being used by design engineers.
A major problem exists regarding using directional spectrum information in extreme event
design. The spectrum is an expression of `average` conditions but for certain design
requirements engineers must know maximum conditions. |
