ADDITIONAL COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN OCEAN ENGINEERING

The computer programs assembled in this 106-page report were developed or adapted for the AMDHAL 470 V/6 computer available on the College Station campus of Texas A&M University. They include: (1) Stokes Fifth Order Wave Theory; (2) Horizontal Wave Force on a Large Submerged Rectangular Body, (a) Using Stokes Third Order Wave Theory, (b) Using Stokes Fifth Order Wave Theory; (3) Wave Forces and Moments on a Circular Cylindrical Pile, (a) Using Cnoidal Wave Theory, (b) Using Stokes Third Order Wave Theory; (4) Wave Forces and Mements Produced on a Vertical PIle Using the Stream Function Theory; and (5) Red Sea Revisions--Program to Estimate the Combined Effects of Refraction, Diffraction of Water Waves and of Bottom Friction. Each program includes a description of the computational technique involved. Notation and reference sources are given.
