Three reasons for freak wave generation in the non-uniform current
2006
Three reasons for freak wave generation due to interaction of wave with spatially non-uniform current are considered in the paper. They are as follows: wave energy amplification due to wave-current interaction; wave height amplification around caustic due to refraction wave in non-uniform current; non-linear wave interaction in shallow water due to their intersection described by the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. These mechanisms can generate a large wave amplification producing a dangerous natural phenomenon.
