 Effect of Jonswap Wave Component
On Dynamic J-Lay Analyses
Jonswap Wave Spectrum

Dynamic Pipelay analyses are depending on Wave Load (Hs, Tp & Dir) &
Vessel RAOs. On Any Irregular Wave Analyses, Wave Seed input,
Jonswap Gamma & Jonswap Wave Component numbers are served as
Input. So How are those Wave numbers affecting the results❓

 Effect of Jonswap Wave Component
On Dynamic Pipelay Top Tension

From our post on “Critical Wave Heading and Period”, We know that the
Wave Seed & Gamma is changing the location of the Critical Wave
Heading & Period ( See : https://www.deeplayenergy.com/post/critical-headings-critical-
periods and https://www.deeplayenergy.com/post/effect-of-jonswap-gamma-on-pipelay-analyses )

The results above show that for the same Seed, Gamma & different wave
component numbers, the Location of the Critical Heading and Period are
also changing. And there is no correlation between Wave number and
Max Worst Dynamic Pipelay Top Tension.
