Wave forces on multiple floating bodies
The scattering of surface gravity waves by floating elements which are arranged in many rows and infinite number of columns is considered to determine the horizontal and vertical forces, moment and drifting force on each element. A semi-submersible circular dock with a cylindrical footing is adopted to model, which is to be used as a column to support giant structures. In developing the theory, the velocity potential for an isolated element is determined first. Second, the velocity potential for one row and an infinite number of columns is determined by taking account of only the diverging wave interaction among the elements. Then the calculation of the wave forces on multiple rows is estimated by taking into consideration only the diverging wave interaction among the rows. The results of the calculation are compared with the experimental data.
