摘要
Laboratory experiments with a bottom hinged surface-piercing cylinder, exposed to irregular deep water waves, are used to investigate high-frequency forcing. The focus is on the secondary load cycle, a strongly nonlinear phenomenon regarding the wave load on a vertical cylinder, first identified by Grue et al. (1993 Preprint Series. Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, pp. 1-30. University of Oslo, available at http://urn.nb.no/URN:NBN:no-52740; 1994 Ninth International Workshop on Water Waves and Floating Bodies (ed. M. Ohkusu), pp. 77-81, available at http://iwwwfb.org ). For a total of 2166 single wave events, the force above 3 omega (where omega is the governing wave frequency) is used to identify and split the strongly nonlinear forces into two peaks: a high-frequency peak closely correlated in time with the wave crest when the total load is positive and a high-frequency peak defining the secondary load cycle which occurs close in time to the wave zero downcrossing when the total load is negative. The two peaks are studied by regression analysis as a function of either the Keulegan-Carpenter number (KC) or the Froude number (Fr). Regarding the secondary load cycle, the best correlation is found with Fr. The speed of the travelling edge of the undisturbed wave approximates the fluid velocity. A threshold value separating between small and large forces is found for KC similar to 4-5, indicating effects of flow separation. Alternatively, the threshold occurs for Fr similar to 0.3-0.4, indicating local wave effects at the scale of the cylinder diameter. The findings suggest that both effects are present and important.
