Derive wave spectrum from scatter diagram

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving a wave spectrum from a scatter diagram for downtime analysis, specifically using the JONSWAP spectrum. The significant wave height (Hs) and peak period (Tp) are critical parameters for this conversion. The zero-order moment (m0) is highlighted as a key component in the calculation, emphasizing its role in incorporating significant wave height into the spectrum analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave scatter diagrams
  • Knowledge of JONSWAP spectrum formulation

Homework Statement


For a downtime analysis the spectrum of motion has to be calculated with the wave spectrum and the RAOs (given) for several frequencies. Given is a wave scatter diagram with the significant wave height (Hs) and the peak period (Tp). How convert the significant wave height and peak period into a spectrum?
