Abstract  
In fact, the sea wave is considered as a stochastic process. The random  
characteristics of the sea wave are described by a suitable spectrum. Offshore structures  
analyzing on random concept may be determined by creating a random wave surface from a  
defined wave spectrum for the sea area of consideration. This paper presents the method to  
establish random wave surface in Vietnam’s sea areas based on any suitable wave spectrum.  
Hereby, hydro -dynamical characteristics of waves can be determined for further calculation  
of wave loads on offshore structures.  
Keywords: Gravity wave, spectrum, wave period, wave amplitudes, wave frequency,  
wave phases, wave scatter diagram, random wave surface.  
1. Introduction  
The previous researches indicate that wave load can cause very large dynamic forces  
on the offshore structures. So far, Morison equation has been using to analyze wave load  
acting on offshore structures [1]. To solve Morison equation, dynamic characteristics of wave  
must be determined [2]. The wave are known as a random process because of the difference  
of wave amplitudes, wave propagating directions, height of sea surfaces, the roughness of sea  
bottoms, topographical characteristics, etc. Random characteristics of wave are described by  
a suitable spectrum. This problem was mentioned in foreign scientific researches [3]. In  
Vietnam, researches widely concentrate in applying spectral theory for calculation of offshore  
structure hydrodynamics. However, in order to solve general problems, this paper propose a  
method for further calculation of wave loads on offshore structure in real waves, which is  
simulated based on Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum for Vietnam’s sea.  
2. Wave characteristics in the Vietnam’s sea  
The monsoon, tropical depressions and storms are main reasons affecting waves in  
Vietnam’s sea. We can summarize as follows [4].  
2.1. The wave in the winter  
The wave in the winter often appears from November of the previous year to March  
of the following year. The main direction of waves is North - East, the following directions  
are the Northward and the Eastward. In the North of Vietnam’s sea, frequency of wave  
towards North - East is about 70 - 85% and in the South of Vietnam’s sea, it is about 60 -  
75%. In general, the directions of wind and wave towards the North - East are stable and  
strong.  
2.2. The wave in the summer  
The wave in the summer often appears from June to August every year. The wave  
direction follows West - South monsoon. The strength of wave towards West - South is  
weaker than that toward North - East. In the South of Vietnam’s sea the frequency of wave  
towards West - South is about 60 - 70% and in the North about 50 - 60%.  
In general, the strength of wave and wind in summer is weaker than that in the winter,  
except in case of storms.

In winter, the average height of wave is 2 - 3 m, period is 7 s - 10 s. In the summer,  
the average wave height is about 1,2 m or more, period is 5 s - 9,3 s.

The energy of non-sinusoidal waves is defined by the expression [1]:

Sηη can be expressed as: Sηη ω, α = Sηη ω M α

3.2. A suitable wave spectrum is applied for Vietnam’s sea  
Different forms of the spectrum at its various generation stages have obtained. Two  
such empirical spectra are the Pierson - Moskowitz and JONSWAP spectra. In addition, there  
are Gaussian and User defined wave spectra. Wave spectra are introduced in scientific  
researches, such as:  
( )  
-The Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum SPM ω is given by [5, 7]:

SPM ω = HSωP. ω−5exp {4 (ω ) }

P
Where ω: Wave frequency;  
2π  
ωP: Angular spectral peak frequency, ωP =  
;
TP  
Hs: Significant wave height;  
TP: Peak wave period  
The Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum is a special case for a fully developed long crested  
sea. The former represents fully developed sea states. The Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum is  
formulated in terms of two parameters of the significant wave height and the average wave  
period.  
( )  
-The JONSWAP spectrum formula SJS ω is given by [5,7]:

ω
4ω  
Where ω: Wave frequency;  
ωp: Spectral peak frequency;  
γ: Peak enhancement factor;  
α: Relates to the wind speed and the peak frequency of wave spectrum;  
g: Acceleration of gravity.  
The JONSWAP spectrum can take into account the imbalance of energy flow in the  
wave system (for instance, when seas are not fully developed). Spectral energy imbalance is  
nearly always the case when there is a high wind speed.  
In analysing offshore structures, assuming that waves propagate on the main  
direction, in Vietnam’s sea, North - East is main wave propagating direction. Vietnam’s sea  
area is a part of the Pacific Ocean located at the easts of Viet Nam. It is limited by mainland,

islands, and marine archipelago, but it connects with Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Thus,  
Vietnam’s sea represents opened sea, and the waves represent fully - developed waves, wave  
characteristics are rather varied. So a Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum can be used to describe  
the spectral characteristics in Vietnam’s sea.  
3.3. Analyze wave parameters  
Facts indicate that wave is caused mainly by wind. The wind blows on the water  
surface. Friction between the air and water particle, gravitation of water have been causing  
waves. These waves are called gravity waves.  
We consider drift of water elements at (x, z) coordinates, the horizontal and vertical  
components water particle velocity (u and w) as well as those of acceleration (ax and ay) are  
defined [4,5]:

3.4. The random wave surface by using calculation program  
Wind generating ocean wave is random in nature. Normally it is described  
mathematically as the summation of a large number of sinusoids.

Consider a random wave surface η( ), wave spectrum 푆 ω of η( ) can be expressed

The random phase angle αi of a wave component is distributed in range of [0;2π], is  
determined by function in MATHCAD.  
Therefore random wave surfaces are established.  
Example:  
Base on wave scatter diagrams in the South of Vietnam’s sea (area 40 according to  
Global Wave Statistics [4]).  
Significant wave height (for 50 years record) s = 8,5m;  
Average period 푇 = 7,5 [1]  
These figures show the results by using calculation program, which we established.

4. Conclusion  
Base on wave data from wave scatter diagrams in Vietnam’s sea, this paper shows  
that Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum is a suitable spectrum to describe random wave surfaces  
in Vietnam’s sea. Using MATHCAD calculation program, the random wave surface records  
had establishing by Pierson - Moskowitz spectrum. The random wave surface based on the  
record of South Vietnam’s sea had presenting, too. Therefore the dynamic characteristics of  
random wave: water particle velocity and acceleration are determined. The result of this study  
will combine with Morison equation in establishing the program which in order to calculate  
the wave loads on offshore structures.
