Abstract: Wave tests of a water intake structure in a liquefied natural gas(LNG) receiving station are carried out under the conditions of different water levels and irregular waves.The model scale is 1:36.5.During the tests,wave pressures of the water intake bucket and the first quadrate culvert are measured.Some influences of water intake quantity and water level on the wave pressures are analyzed.The conditions of water intake quantity are the first phase quantity(27 600 m3/h),the second phase quantity(55 200 m3/h)and zero.The test results show that the measured wave pressures become larger with water level decreasing.For different quantities,the max difference of the wave pressures is from 5% to 8%.
