Abstract
A numerical study on the modeling and local characteristics of a predetermined freak wave has been conducted with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Following the available experimental investigations, a numerical wave tank (NWT) was accordingly set up based on OpenFOAM source packets. The experimental flap-type wave-maker motion was employed directly to reproduce a specific freak wave. The effects of the mesh scheme on freak wave modeling were investigated in depth. Reasonable agreements were achieved between the numerical and experimental results. The wavelet transform method was applied to demonstrate the energy structures of freak wave trains. Special attention was paid to the particle velocities as well as the dynamic pressure. The results showed that insufficient mesh resolutions could probably result in energy dissipations and phase errors of high-frequency wave components during wave propagations, which in turn lead to shifts in the focal positions of freak waves. The particle velocities near the wave crest are extremely large, indicating possible severe wave breaking and impact loads. The theoretical values of similar-shape regular waves could considerably underestimate the particle velocities of freak waves.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering is an international resource for original peer-reviewed research that advances the state of knowledge on all aspects of analysis, design, and technology development in ocean, offshore, arctic, and related fields. Its main goals are to provide a forum for timely and in-depth exchanges of scientific and technical information among researchers and engineers. It emphasizes fundamental research and development studies as well as review articles that offer either retrospective perspectives on well-established topics or exposures to innovative or novel developments. Case histories are not encouraged. The journal also documents significant developments in related fields and major accomplishments of renowned scientists by programming themed issues to record such events.
