Formation of walls of water in 'fully' nonlinear simulations
This paper analyses the spatial evolution of steep directionally spread transient wave groups on deep water and identifies key nonlinear dynamic processes in their formation. Sightings and field measurements of unexpectedly large 'freak' waves on the open ocean appear inconsistent with sta...
