Abstract

In a previous report it is shown that an observed storm sea can be reproduced to model scale in a wave basin if the storm sea undulations are reproduced around the entire perimeter of the wave basin. A new type of wave generator is essential if these possibilities are to be realized because the interference of incoming reflected waves would lead to insurmountable programming difficulties with presently available types. The new type of wave generator will automatically compensate for the effects of incoming waves. Estimates are made of the closeness of realization of the programmed levels.
