TL;DR: In this article, a double bounded probability density function is used to describe the ocean wave statistics and estimate the most probable maximum wave height for offshore structural designs, where the wave height is defined as the probability that the wave reaches a given height.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic pressure distribution around a large vertical cylinder resting on a flume bed and piercing the free surface subjected to regular waves have been carried out in a 4-m wide wave flume in a constant water depth of 2.5 m at Ocean Engineering Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India.

TL;DR: In this article, a large diameter vertical cylinder resting on the flume bed and piercing the free surface is measured under regular wave conditions and compared with the results of MacCamy and Fuchs' linear diffraction theory.
Abstract: The dynamic pressures around a large diameter vertical cylinder resting on the flume bed and piercing the free surface are measured under regular wave conditions and compared with the results of MacCamy and Fuchs' linear diffraction theory. The linear diffraction theory has been modified to account for the nonlinear effects. The results mostly pertain to deep water conditions with drag effects being negligible and are presented in nondimensional form. The agreement between the theory and experiments are in general found to be good.
