Fundamental Research to Support Direct Phase-Resolved Simulation of Nonlinear Ocean Wavefield Evolution

Abstract

Fundamental research was performed in support of the development of a new generation of wave prediction capability, which is call SNOW (simulation of nonlinear ocean wavefield), for the evolution of large-scale realistic ocean surface and internal wavefields using direct phase-resolved simulations. Large-scale phase-resolved SNOW simulations of nonlinear wavefield evolutions are obtained and used to quantify and understand nonlinear ocean wave statistics and rogue wave kinematics/dynamics and to evaluate the validity and effectiveness of the existing phase-averaged wave prediction tools.
