The tests with fixed model were conducted firstly on its encountering a series of monochromatic waves. A wide range of wave slope （H/L ） were selected to investigate the air gap response in detail. As can be seen, larger wave steepness will generally cause smaller air gap in the same wave period, which indicates nonlinear effects of incoming wave can amplify wave elevation. Model tests with mooring condition were also conducted in the same wave conditions. As was expected, the maximum relative wave elevation reduces obviously compared with the fixed one. However, wave shape close to columns show higher harmonic characteristics due to interaction between waves and the columns of semi-submersible platform. Meaningful conclusions from the model tests are drawn in this article, which is helpful in air gap design of floating offshore platform to a certain extent. In addition, the experimental results will provide an important reference for further research on validation and update of theoretical models of air gap.展开更多

Based on the data obtained from model tests, the formula and distribution of irregular wave run-up on composite slope are derived. The changing of wind speed, width and elevation of the berm are considered comprehensively. The wave run-up with various exceedance probability can be es-timated utilizing the distribution curves of irregular wave run-up.展开更多

The flow motions are governed by the classical, two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible fluid. Computational results concerning the time evolution of the free surface and pressure distribution along water bed and slope boundary are given, showing how an initial solitary wave undergoes run-up, overturning, breaking and merging on the slope. It is found that most of the wave energy is lost after the wave breaking and merging.展开更多
