Abstract: | A complete semi-analytical solution is obtained for second-order diffraction of plane bichromatic waves by a fixed truncated
circular column. The fluid domain is divided into interior and exterior regions. In the exterior region, the second-order
velocity potential is expressed in terms of ‘locked-wave’ and ‘free-wave’ components, both are solved using Fourier and eigenfunction
expansions. The resulting ‘locked wave’ potential is expressed by one-dimensional Green's integrals with oscillating integrands.
In order to increase computational efficiency, the far-field part of the integrals are carried out analytically. Solutions
in both regions are matched on the interface by the potential and its normal derivative continuity conditions. Based on the
present approach, the sum-and difference-frequency potentials are efficiently evaluated and are used to generate the quadratic
transfer functions which correlates sum-frequency QTFs for a TLP column are present, which are compared for some frequency
pairs with those from a fully numerical procedure. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained. QTF spectra for a case study
TLP column, generated using the semi-analytical solution are presented. Also given are the results for nonlinear wave field
around the column. |
