    Abstract

    An extension to the Morison equation is proposed to improve wave force prediction. A comparison is made between the performance of Morison's equation and the extended model in curve-fitting to measured time data; both regular oscillatory flows in a U-tube and irregular oscillatory flows in a wave flume are considered.
