Abstract: The present paper provides a general review of available methods of calculting wave-induced forces on large offshore structures. The basic linear diffraction theory for various classes of offshore structures is described and extensions to account for random waves and floating structures are described. Recent research on the effects of currents, flow separation and wave nonlinearities, which are not accounted for in usual diffraction calculations, is also summarized.

摘要： 本文对于现有的计算作用在大型近海建筑物上的波压力的各种方法进行了一般性的回顾,同时阐述了计算各类近海建筑物的线性绕射理论基础,进而谈到了随机波作用问题及浮式建筑物的计算问题,最后综述了目前绕射计算中还未予考虑的水流作用、水流分离效应以及非线性作用等问题的研究现状。
