TL;DR: The influence of wind on extreme wave events in deep water is investigated experimentally and numerically as discussed by the authors, and it is found that wind blowing over a short wave group due to the dispersive focusing of a longer frequency-modulated wavetrain (chirped wave packet) may increase the time duration of the extreme wave event by delaying the defocusing stage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of wind on the formation of the freak wave in the presence of wind and in the absence of wind, and they found an asymmetric behavior between focusing and defocusing stages when the wind is blowing over the mechanically generated gravity wave group.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of numerical simulations based on a Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM) on finite depth to investigate during the collision the maximum runup, phase shift, wall residence time and acceleration field for arbitrary values of the nonlinearity parameter a/h, where a is the amplitude of initial solitary waves and h the constant water depth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a Stokes wavetrain modulated by the Benjamin-Feir instability in the presence of both viscous dissipation and forcing due to wind, and the marginal stability curve derived from the fully nonlinear numerical simulations coincides with the curve obtained by [9] from a linear stability analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of a submerged plate used as a breakwater for coastal areas protection is presented, where the influence of current on the reflective power of the plate and its influence on the hydrodynamic loads exerted on it is investigated.
