energy of the water particle (drag force). These forces are given<br />

by Morison’s equation as:<br />

5-2<br />

where:<br />

F =<br />

hydrodynamicforce vector per unit length acting normal<br />

to the axis of the member<br />

F,&FD=<br />

inertia and drag components of F<br />

P<br />

=<br />

density of water<br />

cm ‘<br />

inertia force coefficient<br />

cd =<br />

drag force coefficient<br />

D=<br />

diameter of a tubular<br />

u“ =<br />

duw<br />

component of the velocity vector of the water normal to<br />

the axis of the member<br />

= component of the accelerationvector of the water<br />

normal to the axis of the member<br />

liw=— dt<br />

II<br />

= denotes absolute value<br />

An appropriateapproachto estimatethe wave forces with reasonable<br />

accuracy is to assess the load model in its entirety, and for its<br />

component elements.<br />

The element diameter should reflect any geometric variations,<br />

including marine growth. The Cd and Cm values applied may range<br />
