Using Morison's equation and the directional spectrum of surface waves, it is possible to create a stationary random process that is statistically equivalent to the random process of the force exerted by wind-generated waves on a rigid cylinder. This was validated by the results of two small-scale field experiments dealing with wave forces on truncated vertical cylinders and submerged horizontal cylinders.
► Random Morison's force by wind-generated waves on a rigid cylinder is analyzed. ► Forces are created from the directional spectrum of surface waves. ► Results are validated with two small-scale field experiments. ► The former dealing with wave forces on truncated vertical cylinders. ► The latter dealing with wave forces on submerged horizontal cylinders.
