Laboratory study of wind impact on steep unidirectional waves in a long tank
Although phase-averaged modeling of energy input from wind to waves is relatively mature, the effect of wind on wave evolution on a wave-by-wave basis has received less attention. In this paper, we perform parametric laboratory experiments in a large-scale wave tank to investigate the interaction between waves and the wind. We focus on the properties and evolution of deep-water gravity waves under the following wind forcing and analyze the effects of forcing wind on waves with different initial wave steepness. In addition, we discuss wave energy input in the wave spectra tail and the exceeding probability of wave height and wave crest height.
