Coupled effects of wave and depth-dependent current interaction on loads on a bottom-fixed vertical slender cylinder
Xin, Zirui; Li, Xin; Li, Yan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The coupled effects of waves and a subsurface current on the hydrodynamic loads on offshore slender structures in coastal water regions have been examined in this paper, especially the coupling of the weak nonlinearity of ... -
The influence of directional spreading on rogue waves triggered by abrupt depth transitions
Tang, Tianning; Moss, Charlotte; Draycott, Samuel; Bingham, Harry B.; Van Den Bremer, Ton S.; Li, Yan; Adcock, Thomas A.A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)An increased number of rogue waves, relative to standard distributions, can be induced by unidirectional waves passing over abrupt decreases in water depth. We investigate this phenomenon in a more general setting of ... -
On coupled envelope evolution equations in the Hamiltonian theory of nonlinear surface gravity waves
Li, Yan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This paper presents a novel theoretical framework in the Hamiltonian theory of nonlinear surface gravity waves. The envelope of surface elevation and the velocity potential on the free water surface are introduced in the ... -
On the formation of coastal rogue waves in water of variable depth
Li, Yan; Chabchoub, Amin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Wave transformation is an intrinsic dynamic process in coastal areas. An essential part of this process is the variation of water depth, which plays a dominant role in the propagation features of water waves, including a ... -

Statistics of weakly nonlinear waves on currents with strong vertical shear
Zheng, Zibo; Li, Yan; Ellingsen, Simen Andreas Ådnøy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We investigate how the presence of a vertically sheared current affects wave statistics, including the probability of rogue waves, and apply it to a real-world case using measured spectral and shear current data from the ... -
Wave loads on ocean infrastructure increase as a result of waves passing over abrupt depth transitions
Li, Zhenhao; Tang, Tianning; Li, Yan; Draycott, Samuel; van den Bremer, Ton S.; Adcock, Thomas A. A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Abrupt changes in water depth are known to lead to abnormal free-surface wave statistics. The present study considers whether this translates into abnormal loads on offshore infrastructure. A fully non-linear numerical ...
