Discussion

Experiments validate the T-FNV engineering model for wave forces on vertical cylinders, suggesting enhanced accuracy in design.

The T-FNV model accurately predicts nonlinear wave loads on monopile foundations, enhancing offshore engineering practices.
Wave flume experiments revealed that the model effectively handles steep wave conditions, improving computational efficiency.
Both experimental and numerical approaches validated the model's application for slender surface-piercing vertical cylinders.
Precision in predicting hydrodynamic excitation supports better design and robustness for offshore wind structures.

Orszaghova et al. (2025) studied this question.
