Extreme wave elevations beneath offshore platforms, second order trapping, and the near flat form of the quadratic transfer functions

Extreme free surface elevations due to wave-structure interactions are investigated to second order using Quadratic Transfer Functions (QTFs). The near-trapping phenomenon for small arrays of closely spaced columns is studied for offshore applications, and the excitation of modes by linear and secon...
