While little is known about the statistics of these waves, even less is known of the dynamical conditions under which they occur. Nonlinear interactions among individual waves travelling a group have been identified as an important mechanism in the formation of giant waves.in the ocean. In this study, the non-linear packet-focusing technique, modified to account for an opposing current, is used to generate steep, plunging waves in a laboratory flume. The kinematics of these waves are measured just up-wave of the onset of plunging, and these results are compared to those of a superposition model, a modified stretching model, and a model based on Stokes 3rd order developed for the, present study. The present model represents the velocity beneath the plunging significantly better than the other two models"--Abstract. |
