Abstract: 
Nonlinear wave force includes several frequency components, and may induce offshore structures collapse due to its resonance motion. In this talk a brief introduction will be given on the hydrodynamic research at DUT and numerical models developed at DUT for computing wave force and response of coastal and offshore structures. Both frequency-domain and time-domain numerical models have been developed based on the higher order BEM at DUT. The frequency-domain models are accurate to the second order of wave steepness, and can compute the action of bichromatic and bi-directional incident waves. In the frequency-domain analysis, a kind of new QTF’s was proposed for the simulation of nonlinear wave interaction with a floating body. The time-domain nonlinear wave force models were also developed, one is a Cummins model based on the new QTF’s and others are full-time domain wave tank models. All of these models are coupled with mooring line and riser models for the practical analysis of real offshore structures.
