The simulation results show that waves from North Pacific and North Atlantic mainly propagate southeastward or southward and swells generated in Southern Ocean spread northeastward. The waves from high latitude regions spread along the east coast and encounter in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic to form swell fronts around equator and then turn eastward. As the weak wind field with numerous swell inflows, swell pools are gener- ally located on the eastern side of the ocean basin, where the swell index S are greater than 0.9 calculated using ERA-20C data for the period of 1981 2010. Another remarkable feature is that swell pools move southward and split into two parts in winter, while they move northward and merge together in summer.展开更多

The dispersion equation is then modified by assuming an additional term in the boundary condition at the free-surface and wave-number becomes complex number with a small imaginary part which ensures the decay of wave amplitudes. The comparisons of numerical results and model test measurement on wave elevation at the moon-pool center is obtained both for the peak period and for the amplitude at resonance by choosing an appropriated dissipation coefficient.
