Analytical and Numerical Studies of the Generation and Propagation of Nonlinear Water Waves by a Wavemaker

The ability to predict the nonlinear effects of extreme wave events is paramount for the preparation of modern experimental tests in large wave basins. Currently, linear theory is routinely used, hence nonlinear wave-wave interactions between propagating waves are often ignored. In addition, the non...
