The horizontal and vertical motions of a spherical buoy, excited by synthetic ocean waves within a wave flume, is numerically and experimentally investigated. First, fluid motion in the wave tank is described using Airy's theory, and the forces on the buoy are determined using a modified form of Morison's equation. The system is then studied statically in order to determine the effects of varying system parameters. Numerical simulations then use the governing equations to compare predicted motions with experimentally observed behavior. © 2011 by ASME.
