Random Wave Simulation Considering Wave Groups

Abstract
The simulation of random waves which have the same power spectrum but different types of wave grouping is tried based on the study of Funk and Mansard. Some statistical properties of the numerically simulated waves are investigated together with actual wave data obtained at Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Also, it is examined whether the numerically simulated waves can be reproduced satisfactorily in a wave tank. The main results are summarized as follows:
