description Accurate prediction of nonlinear wave loading is crucial for designing marine and offshore structures, yet it remains a challenging task. Prior research has primarily focused on uni-directional extreme sea states, revealing that linear loading cannot accurately represent the total wave forces acting on offshore wind turbine foundations, with significant contributions from high-order harmonics. This study broadens the scope to include multi-directional and bi-directional wave interactions with monopile offshore wind turbine foundations. We use a phasebased harmonic separation method to isolate harmonic components in the presence of complex wave scenarios. This approach allows for the clear delineation of individual harmonics from the total wave force by controlling the phase of incident focused waves. Remarkably, this method shown effective even with multidirectional and bi-directional spreading. The clean separation of individual harmonics enables the estimation of contributions from each harmonic. Our findings are in line with previous research, showing that nonlinear loading can constitute up to 40% of the total under certain wave conditions. We have also observed that wider wave spreading reduces nonlinear high-order harmonics, and uni-directional waves induce the most severe nonlinear forces. These insights emphasize the importance of accounting for high-order nonlinear wave loading in offshore structure design.
