【 摘 要 】

Arrays of vertical cylinders are essential components of many coastal structures, such as bridge piers, platform legs, and pile breakwaters. Thus, estimating the maximum wave and current-induced forces and moments on such structures is most important. Following a thorough literature review, the authors proceeded with an experimental study in order to investigate the forces exerted by random waves and a superimposed current on an array of three vertical cylinders as a function of the inter-cylinder gap and the angle of wave incidence over a wide range of wave and current conditions in shallow water.
