Second-Order Random Ocean Waves: Prediction of Temporal and Spatial Variation. The Routine Wavemaker

Abstract

This report describes and illustrates the use and underlying theory of the routine WAVEMAKER. The routine is used to simulate random non-Gaussian time-histories, to identify first and second-order fixed user-specified locations based on the originally specified or simulated time-history. Ocean wave time-histories are simulated using a first-order wave on second-order hydrodynamic theory.
