Non-linear evolution of large waves in deep water – the influence of directional spreading and spectral bandwidth
As large waves form in the open ocean their dynamics are modified from classic linear dispersion by non-linear physics. In this study we use a numerical model to study the evolution of isolated wave-groups in deep water. We find that the non-linear changes are rather sensitive to the initial conditi...
