| Summary: | Although irregular ocean waves can be viewed as the summation components. A Hybrid Wave Model is developed to describe derived and examined to satisfy the basic hydrodynamic due to the existence of nonlinear interactions among the wave in accuracy and reliability over the other prediction linear wave theory and its stretching and extrapolation methods, especially for steep and broad-banded wave trains. model are developed for the predictions of the short-distance modifications. The excellent agreement between the model numerical scheme as well as the software package based on the of laboratory measurements as well as predictions using of many wave components with different frequencies, accurate prediction of elevation evolution and kinematics is difficult predictions and the measurements confirms the advantages of principles up to second order of the wave steepness. The the Hybrid Wave Model, and indicates great improvements both The numerical results are compared extensively with four sets these nonlinear interactions between the wave components. In this study, the formulations of the Hybrid Wave Model are wave evolution and kinematics of an irregular wave field. |
