This standalone handbook, newly updated and translated into English for the first time, seamlessly blends background and theory with real-world experiments. Covering all key topics, including environmental conditions, wave theories, hydrostatics, and wave and current loads, with an emphasis on nonlinear wave body interaction, it serves as an invaluable resource. Model testing, a crucial component in the design of offshore structures, receives particular attention, with recent results on the hydrodynamics of perforated structures, moonpool and gap resonance, and third-order interaction effects added to this revised edition. Drawing from practical experience gained through multiple industry collaborations and lectures refined and honed over more than 30 years, this book adopts a pedagogical, real-world approach that makes it an ideal companion for graduate students, researchers, and ocean engineers alike.
