Difference-frequency second-order wave loads #25

Closed lucas-carmo closed 1 year ago

lucas-carmo commented 1 year ago

Implementation of difference-frequency second-order wave loads. For now, they are computed using a QTF file following WAMIT format (.12d), which needs to be obtained beforehand. Mean drift loads are not included yet, so only slow-drifts are considered at the moment.

Besides that, wave amplitudes are now stored in meters instead of a spectrum. which required some changes in the code, including the helper functions responsible for computing PSD and RMS. This change is in the sense of following a more usual convention, but it should not impact results.
