Hurricane Design-Wave Practices
Methods are presented that result in a better estimate than heretofore available for obtaining hurricane design waves for offshore structures and coastal structures. Two important concepts are introduced that allow the hurricane design wave and its recurrence interval to be obtained with fair reliability. First, the “energy index” concept, which was originally proposed by Robert O. Reid, is used to obtain the design hurricane for deepwater wave conditions. Second, techniques are used for computing wind waves over a shallow bottom, considering bottom friction as proposed by the writer. To illustrate these techniques, a hurricane is selected off the coast of North Carolina for which wave computations are made.
