Parametric Wave Spectrum Model for Typhoon-Generated Waves Based on Field Measurements in Nearshore Strait Water

摘要

The stochastic waves generated by storm landfalls usually determine the design and safety of coastal and offshore structures in typhoon regions. This study developed a parametric wave spectrum model for typhoon-generated stochastic waves that considers the variation in the wave spectrum due to the temporal variation in the typhoon. A field measurement campaign was conducted in nearshore strait water on the east coast of China to measure the wave data for two landfall typhoons: Soudelor and Dujuan. The measured wave data were filtered through a preprocessing framework. The parametric wave spectrum model was then developed based on the measured wave spectra for different stages of the typhoon. The main conclusions include the following: (1) 78% of the measured wave spectra at the example site under a typhoon are double-peaked, and approximately 15% are single-peaked; (2) the parametric model with either the Joint North Sea Wave Project (JONSWAP) or Ochi-Hubble (OH) kernel function is effective in defining the typhoon-generated wave spectra; and (3) the critical parameters of the developed model for typhoon-generated waves are site-specific and depend on the temporal variation of the typhoon.
