Experimental Estimation of Loads on a Floating Object Exerted by the Direct Impact of Tsunami Waves

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

This work presents the results of experiments on the physical modeling of the interaction of long tsunami-type waves with floating gas storage. Loads under wave action are assessed, and the results are analyzed. Conclusions are drawn on the nature of the load dependence on the floating object orientation relative to the impact direction of the tsunami wave and the maximum tsunami height.
