Abstract
In part I of this paper, continuous time models have been fitted to wave forces acting on fixed cylinders and a new equation structure called the Dynamic Morison model has been proposed as an alternative to the traditional Morison equation. In this, the second part of the paper, continuous time nonlinear differential equation models are fitted to wave forces from responding cylinders and corresponding equation structures are proposed as an alternative to the Morison equation for the prediction of wave forces for the moving cylinder case. It is shown that the new models explain the wave force mechanisms and perform considerably better than the Morison equation.
