Digital Simulation of a Gaussian Seaway Based on the Random Phase Model.

Abstract

This report presents a convenient method for simulating time histories of ocean wave surfaces on a digital computer. The simulation model employed is basically the spectral energy wave surface representation. A random selection of frequency components within each frequency interval is employed to increase the wave period of the digital process. Analytical properties of the resulting wave systems are derived and comparison with computed wave records is shown. Detailed computer program documentation is also provided.
