Freak waves under the action of wind: experiments and simulations
The freak wave formation due to the dispersive focusing mechanism is investigated experimentally without wind and in presence of wind. An asymmetric behaviour between... -
Experimental study of the wind effect on focusing of transient wave groups
One of the popular machanisms of the freak waves phenomenon is the dispersive focusing of transient wave groups. In all published theoretical and experimental papers... -
An experimental study on the effect of wind on the generation of freak waves
Freak wave generation can be explained on the basis of spatial and spatio-temporal concept (Kharif and Pelinovsky, 2003). However the authors pointed out that the role... -
Experimental evidence of the modulation of a plane wave to oblique perturbati...
