(HR Wallingford, Wallingford, UK) Date 1969-03-24 Abstract Information, published to date, or. the effect of viscosity on wave forces is very indefinite. A series of experiments carried out in the Pulsating Water Tunnel at the Hydraulics Research Station Wallingford under closely, controlled conditions clearly defined the variation of primary forces with Reynolds Numbers up to 6 x 10 5 . Additionally secondary high frequency forces resulting from the shedding of eddies were observed. The findings of this work cast doubts on the validity of tests on model structures subjected to wave action.
