Rogue Waves in Large Scale Fully Nonlinear High-order-Spectral Simulations

This study is devoted to the simulation of 3D directional wave fields with a fully-non-linear potential-flow model. This model is based on the High-Order-Spectral (HOS) method in the consistent form of West et al. [14]. The accuracy and efficiency of this model give access to the fully-non-linear evolution of large domains during long period of time. Besides, the recent efficient parallelization of the code (see Ducrozet et al. [5]) allows us to run parametric studies. In this paper, the occurrence of extreme waves is investigated within sea-states of different characteristics.
