The distributions of second-order oscillating and steady wave pressure on the wet surface of the cylinder and second order oscillating wave forces were obtained in this test, but the second-order steady wave force was not able to be measured due to its very small magnitude. The test results also show that third-order wave force may be greater than the second-order force when wave frequencies are high. The experimental results were compared with the corresponding calculation results of Reference [3].展开更多
