Abstract
Solitary waves can evolve into plunging breakers during shoaling, inducing high wave loads on coastal structures. Meanwhile, plunging waves propagate with rapid spatial-temporal variations both in wave geometry and wave kinematics, causing varying forces on structures for different breaking stages (Chan et al., 1995). Although there have been numerous experiments for wave forces on cylinders, to our knowledge no experiments have studied the forces at different breaking stages of a plunging solitary wave. Thus, in our study, experiments are conducted to investigate the force due to a plunging solitary wave impacting a circular cylinder as a function of the wave's phase. Due to these forces, as expected structural responses are induced (Paulsen et al., 2019); to eliminate the effect of the structural response, the equation of motion is proposed to facilitate extracting only the isolated hydrodynamic forces.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/P07Cdlnxe7s
