AquaSim, Irregular wave calculation and validation (TR-FOU-2161-1)
Summary
AquaSim is an analysis program based on time domain analysis. Time series of waves are input to the program. The waves run by AquaSim can be a number of wave components where each wave component can be or made by user to derive at any combination of waves the structure is exposed to.
This report describes the parameters in AquaSim applied to generate irregular waves and its theory.
Revision 2:
In this revision, validation of ITTC and wave period cut off is evaluated for the latest version of AquaSim.
