Abstract
Abstract A wave and current diffraction model is developed based on the potential flow theory and a high-order boundary element method with the successful treatment of singular and nearly singular integrals. The wave–current diffraction from four mounted cylindrical columns are computed, and the free surface wave elevations among the columns are investigated. The influences of the current speed, wave direction, and column spacing on the wave elevation are examined. Ultimately, the presence of a current has a significant influence on the magnitude, spatial location, and occurrence frequency of the maximum wave elevation.
