The Intermediate Water Depth Limit of the Zakharov Equation and Consequences for Wave Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Finite-amplitude deep-water waves are subject to modulational instability, which eventually can lead to the formation of extreme waves. In shallow water, finite-amplitude surface gravity waves generate a current and ...
Comparison of Distributions of Wave Heights From Nonlinear Schrأ¶edinger Equation Simulations and Laboratory Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical simulations of the nonlinear Schrأ¶dinger (NLS) equation are performed by imposing randomly synthesized free surface displacement at the wave maker characterized by the Joint North Sea Wave Project (JONSWAP) ...
On the Estimation of the Kurtosis in Directional Sea States for Freak Wave Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ased on Monte Carlo simulations of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in two horizontal dimensions, the dependence of the kurtosis on the directional energy distribution of the initial conditions is examined. The parametric ...
Investigation of Nonlinear Wave–Ice Interaction Using Parameter Study and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the question of the existence of nonlinear wave–ice interaction with the focus on nonlinear wave propagation and dispersion of waves. The scope of this investigation is to provide a better understanding ...
