Abstract

A 3-D ComFLOW model is used to investigate regular wave and irregular wave run-up on a monopile foundation. ComFLOW model results are in good agreement with measurements of De Vos et al. (2007). Our study shows that the wave run-up is strongly dependent on the wave nonlinearity. A set of non-dimensional, simple formulae have been derived to relate wave run-up to the structure diameter and Ursell number. These new formulae can be used to predict the wave run-up on a monopile foundation in the design phase.
