What is Wave-Excitation Load Models for Offshore Structures about?

This document summarizes a study that assessed two methods for modeling hydrodynamic loads on offshore wind turbine support structures: potential flow theory and strip theory. It found that for regular waves, the two methods produce similar results for first-order wave loads when the structure diameter is small compared to the wavelength. For second-order wave loads, strip theory diverges from potential flow at even smaller diameter-to-wavelength ratios. The study aimed to understand when strip theory break
