The maximum entropy distributions appear to be superior to conventional distributions when applied to a limited amount of information. Its applications to the wave group properties show the effectiveness of the maximum entropy distribution. FFF filtering method is employed to obtain the wave envelope fast and efficiently. Comparisons of both the maximum entropy distribution and the distribution of Longuet-Higgins （1984） with the laboratory wind-wave data show that the former gives a better fit.展开更多

The numerical results show that both the sway and heave motions increase with an increase in GFH. In contrast, the influence of GLF on the motions of a moored ship is weak.展开更多

文摘Waves with the same wave parameters, such as significant wave height and period, but with different wave groupiness factors are simulated, to study the motion behavior of a moored ship under the action of waves with different Groupiness Factors of Height （GFH） and Group Length Factors （GLF）. The numerical results show that both the sway and heave motions increase with an increase in GFH. In contrast, the influence of GLF on the motions of a moored ship is weak.
