- Additional information
- This work details the evolution of focused wave groups and their generation in numerical and physical wave tanks. By using a newly developed method based on the separation of harmonics, the quality of the focusing of the predicted or measured wave may be systematically improved by forensic evaluation of high order terms and their contribution to the focused wave shape and crest height. The significance of this work is that it can be exploited to inform both laboratory and computational studies in offshore and coastal engineering, including design of numerical and physical wave tanks, and in marine science.
