Abstract

A method for the calculation of wave crest kinematics, the Kinematic Boundary Condition Fitting (KBCF) method is presented. Data from the FULWACK experiment (Fulmar Wave Crest Kinematics) on the Fulmar platform in the North Sea were compared with the KBCF method extended to three dimensions. Good agreement was obtained, confirming KBCF as a reliable method of simulating the kinematics of natural storm waves for platform design.
