Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the behavior of wave heights in complex sea states, where wind and wave patterns are influenced by the presence of several wind-driven and swell components. It provides valuable insights for engineers tasked with the design of coastal protection projects. The author delves into the limitations of the commonly used Rayleigh model for predicting wave heights, demonstrating that this model can significantly underestimate extreme wave conditions. The book provides a detailed examination of multimodal wave height distributions, which arise when the energy spectrum of wind-driven waves is distinctly multi-peaked. Through a series of synthetic data generation experiments, the author explores the relationship between spectral characteristics, such as modal separation and relative energy, and the resulting wave height distributions. The results challenge the assumption of unimodal, narrow-banded processes in the synthesis of sea states with Rayleigh distributions and emphasize the need for more sophisticated models capable of representing multimodal processes. The findings presented in this book have important implications for coastal engineering practices. By unveiling these complexities, the author prompts engineers to re-evaluate the accuracy of traditional wave height prediction models and to consider using more advanced models, such as the Modified Rayleigh model, which can better capture the variability of wave heights in multimodal sea states. This book is a valuable resource for coastal engineers seeking to improve the safety and resilience of coastal infrastructure in the face of complex wave conditions This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
