Wave Excitation Forces on a Sphere: Description of a Physical Testcase

Morten Bech Kramer & Jacob Andersen

Physical wave basin tests with a focus on uncertainty estimation have been conducted on a sphere subjected to wave loads at Aalborg University as part of the effort of the OES Wave Energy Converters Modeling Verification and Validation (formerly, OES Task 10) working group to increase credibility of numerical modeling of WECs. The tests are referred to as the Kramer Sphere Cases, and the present note is dealing with wave excitation force tests on a fixed model. The present note is including details to facilitate CFD models which replicate the physical setup in detail.
