Fully nonlinear simulations of unidirectional extreme waves provoked by strong depth transitions: the effect of slope

Recent experimental and numerical studies of surface gravity waves propagating over a sloping bottom have shown an increase in the probability of extreme waves can be triggered by depth variations in sufficiently shallow waters. This phenomenon is studied here by means of a Boundary Element Method w...
