Abstract
Abstract With the construction of coastal infrastructure in the complex environment of nearshore straits, accurate estimation of wave conditions during the passage of tropical cyclones is essential for reliable structural design. In this study, internal and external dependence relationships between height- and period-related parameters for typhoon-induced mean wave conditions in nearshore straits are established. Field measurements and SWAN+ADCIRC simulations of waves in two straits on the east coast of China under historical typhoon conditions were used. In reference to field data, the developed relationships provide closer estimates of the lower, expected, and upper bounds of waves than do the standard-recommended and literature-proposed models. These relationships yield 2% smaller heights and 14%-38% longer periods than the other empirical models do. The results of this study can be used to enhance analyses of the typhoon-generated wave environment and the design of coastal infrastructure in nearshore strait areas.
