Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Interactions between the Weakly Three-Dimensional Waves by Dianyong Liu, Chen Liang, Xiao Liang

“…In addition, another oblique two-dimensional experiment was also conducted for comparison with the ‘X’ configuration but in one single channel by removing a dummy wall in the interaction region. Our experimental results show that as the wave trains propagate into the interaction region, it is obvious that there is an increase in the wave height which reaches a maximum height of about 1.37H0 for different initial wave steepness at the center of the interaction region, and then decreases thereafter, where H0 is the input wave height. …”
