Description:

Large-scale laboratory experiments of wave impacts on vertical cylinders representative of aboveground storage tanks typical of petrochemical facilities located in coastal regions. The objective is to provide a dataset for validation of numerical or analytical models of wave impacts on cylindrical structures. Four types of waves are considered: (i) regular or monochromatic waves; (ii) random or irregular waves; (iii) solitary waves; and (iv) double solitary waves. Three different configurations (models) of the experiment are investigated: (i) a single cylinder; (ii) two cylinders in tandem; and (iii) no cylinder or undisturbed case. Pressure and wave runup are recorded on the cylinders, while wave height and water velocity are recorded around the cylinders.
