Algorithm and Experimental Study of Circular Omnidirectional Focused Wave Synthesis for Extreme Wave Simulation by NI Yiping, WANG Tianyi, WANG Lei, LIN Jun, CHEN Jun, GUO Zebin

“…To reproduce extreme focused waves,based on the traditional two-dimensional double superposition focusing method,the spectral peak frequency,frequency band and wave amplitude distribution method have been improved,and a circular omnidirectional focused wave synthesis algorithm has been innovatively developed.The algorithm achieves the simulation of extreme focused waves and graphic focused waves,such as single-peaked focused waves,double-peaked focused waves,eccentric focused waves,rotating focused waves,and D-shaped focused waves.It is also capable to accurately control the focal position,height,diameter,verticality and other wave forms.Moreover,it can simulate strong nonlinear waves such as generating up jets with a height of up to 10 m and an impulse velocity of 13.8 m/s.In addition,the algorithm has the ability to simulate conventional waveforms,including rotating waves,standing waves and other regular waves,to fulfill the demand of traditional wave tests.…”
