Wave loading
Wind Loading Wave Loading Current Loading The There e are a e considerable conside able overlaps o e laps in the physics of each mechanism and, where appropriate these will be discussed.
Wind Forces are typically responsible for about 15% of the total environmental loading on an offshore structure These Wind forces are particularly likely to result in high overturning moments as they will be applied near the highest point of a structure/vessel. High wind forces tend to occur at times of high wave forces!
When a steady wind blows over an object, it is exposed to a range of forces The most obvious are lift and drag

viscosity Characteristic length
This requires local acceleration of the fluid and there will be viscous drag between the fluid and the object. These result in inertial forces relating to the local fluid acceleration and viscous viscous forces relating to the stickiness of the liquid.
