Conference Proceeding
Kalogirou, A., Bokhove, O., & Ham, D. (2017). Modelling of nonlinear wave-buoy dynamics using constrained variational methods. In ASME 2017 36th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (1-10). https://doi.org/10.1115/OMAE2017-61966

We consider a comprehensive mathematical and numerical strategy to couple water-wave motion with rigid ship dynamics using variational principles. We present a methodology that applies to three-dimensional potential flow water waves and ship dynamics...

Variational modelling of extreme waves through oblique interaction of solitary waves: application to Mach reflection (2017)
Journal Article
Gidel, F., Bokhove, O., & Kalogirou, A. (2017). Variational modelling of extreme waves through oblique interaction of solitary waves: application to Mach reflection. Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 24(1), 43-60. https://doi.org/10.5194/npg-24-43-2017

In this work, we model extreme waves that occur due to Mach reflection through the intersection of two obliquely incident solitary waves. For a given range of incident angles and amplitudes, the Mach stem wave grows linearly in length and amplitude,...
