Irregular wave kinematics from a kinematic boundary condition fit (KBCF)
AbstractCalculation of the kinematics of random waves above the mean water line presents great difficulties. The kinematic boundary condition fit (KBCF) method approximates the solution through the numerical calculation of a potential function which fits the kinematic boundary condition on a specified surface. Comparisons with a high order regular wave show that the method converges to the true solution when the surface is accurately specified. Tests of the method for irregular waves were made with measurements from a laser-Doppler current meter in the Delft wave tank. These tests showed good agreement between theory and measurement when the surface evolution was calculated correct to second order. Stretched linear theory was also compared to the measurements. The stretched velocities were reasonably good when the phases of the component wavelets were measured but somewhat low when the phases were selected from a uniform distribution.
