The application relates to the technical field of ocean
engineering, in particular to a wave load calculation method for a near-free-surface cylindrical structure in a marine environment, which can accurately predict a circular rod and the like in a
marine structure located in a region near a free surface, is especially suitable for
wave force estimation of a horizontally arranged cylindrical structure under the action of transient strong nonlinear
waves in an extreme wave environment, and improves the precision of structure stress prediction and the safety of
engineering design, and specifically comprises the following steps: a
wave force calculation model is established based on a classic Morison equation, a focused
wave field is constructed, wherein the focused wave is constructed by superimposing multiple
regular wave components, so that an idealized free liquid surface profile is formed, and then horizontal
wave force and vertical wave force are respectively calculated in the focused
wave field, compared with the prior art, the method has wider applicability, can effectively process wide-frequency multi-component focused
wave field modeling, and is especially suitable for application of
engineering early design and parameter
sensitivity analysis.
