The improved method superposes a random wave train with two transient wave trains to simulate freak wave events in a wave tank. The freak waves are more nonlinear than what generated with Kriebel＇ s method of the same energy. It can ＇also generate freak waves to satisfy all the qualifications of the adopted definition with less energy than Kriebel＇ s and can hardly influence the significant wave height.展开更多

文摘In the present study, Kriebel＇ s method is improved to generate freak waves in laboratory. The improved method superposes a random wave train with two transient wave trains to simulate freak wave events in a wave tank. The freak waves are more nonlinear than what generated with Kriebel＇ s method of the same energy. It can ＇also generate freak waves to satisfy all the qualifications of the adopted definition with less energy than Kriebel＇ s and can hardly influence the significant wave height.
