...., pp. 359–367 ] and a new method proposed by Grue et al. [2003, “Kinematics of Extreme Waves in Deep Water,” Appl. Ocean Res., 25, pp. 355–366 ]. Comparison to laboratory data is also made. The whole wave-zone range from below still water level up to the free surface is considered. Large nonlinear...

...Svein Helge Gjøsund It has proven difficult to describe the kinematics in irregular waves satisfactorily, in particular for the surface zone in broad-banded waves. A Lagrangian approach offers distinct advantages in this respect, eliminating the need for extrapolation of solutions or “stretching...

..., in which currents may be present. Experiments were carried out in a wave tank with simulated steep waves with and without steady in-line current in which the wave profiles and the corresponding kinematics were simultaneously measured. The waves included both regular and random waves and often approached...
