..., radius of the ring, and wave conditions on elastic responses is discussed in terms of the prototype scale of a flotation ring. It is concluded that the deformations over the ring in the direction of waves’ propagation are the largest, and that the mooring point in the head-on direction of the waves...

... elevation, velocity, pressure), at every point in the domain. Moreover, the present model can be extended to treat weakly nonlinear waves, and it can be further elaborated for modeling and studying wave propagation over random bottom topography. Berkhoff , J. C. , 1972 , “ Computation...

.... As the waves propagate over the underwater caisson, their phase velocity reduces. This leads to a curved wave front, which in turn causes focusing of wave energy toward the rear of the structure. Therefore the largest effect will clearly be generated along...
