Hasselmann and coauthors proposed the discrete interaction approximation (DIA) as the best tool replacing the nonlinear evolution term in a numerical wind–wave model. Much later, Polnikov and Farina radically improved the original DIA by means of location all the interacting four wave vectors, used in the DIA configuration, exactly at the nodes of the numerical frequency–angular grid. This provides a nearly two-times enhancement of the speed of numerical calculation for the nonlinear evolution term in a wind–wave model. For this reason, the proposed version of the DIA was called as the fast DIA (FDIA). In this paper, we demonstrate all details of the FDIA concept for several frequency–angular numerical grids of high-resolution with the aim of active implementation of the FDIA in modern versions of world-wide used wind–wave models.

This study is concerned with the operation of spectral wind wave models. Many spectral wind wave models use a growth mechanism which operates on the point spectrum with directionality being introduced after the fact by the use of a spreading function. It is recognized here that this approach leads to errors whenever the wind and wave fields are not aligned. This is demonstrated by comparing the performance of two first generation models under various conditions. One makes use of a point spectral growth mechanism and follows the operation of the Spectral Ocean Wave Model (SOWM). The other uses a directional growth mechanism but is otherwise the same as the first. A large difference between the models is noted for swell corrupted seas.

Deterministic Modeling of ocean surface rogue waves is often done with highly complex spectral codes for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and its higher order versions, the Zakharov equation or the full Euler equations in two-space and one-time dimensions. Wind/Wave Modeling is normally conducted with a kinetic equation derived from a deterministic equation: the nonlinear four wave interactions are normally computed with the Discrete Interaction Approximation (DIA) algorithm, the Webb-Resio-Tracy (WRT) algorithm or the full Boltzmann integral. I give an overview of these methods and show how a fully self-consistent approach can simultaneously yield all of these methods while computing a multidimensional Fourier series that contains rogue wave packets as “coherent structures” or “nonlinear Fourier components” in the theory. The methods also lead to hyperfast codes in which deterministic evolution is millions of times faster than traditional spectral codes on a large multicore computer. This method could lead the way to an ideal future in which there are single codes that can simultaneously compute the deterministic and probabilistic evolution of surface waves.

This study is focused on the alterations and typical features of the wind wave climate of the Black Sea’s coastal waters since 1979 till nowadays. Wind wave parameters were calculated by means of the 3rd-generation numerical spectral wind wave model SWAN, which is widely used on various spatial scales – both coastal waters and open seas. Data on wind speed and direction from the NCEP CFSR reanalysis were used as forcing. The computations were performed on an unstructured computational grid with cell size depending on the distance from the shoreline. Modeling results were applied to evaluate the main characteristics of the wind wave in various coastal areas of the sea.

AbstractNumerical wave models can output partitioned wave parameters at each grid point using a spectral partitioning technique. Because these wave partitions are usually organized according to the magnitude of their wave energy without considering the coherence of wave parameters in space, it can be difficult to observe the spatial distributions of wave field features from these outputs. In this study, an approach for spatially tracking coherent wave events (which means a cluster of partitions originating from the same meteorological event) from partitioned numerical wave model outputs is presented to solve this problem. First, an efficient traverse algorithm applicable for different types of grids, termed breadth-first search, is employed to track wave events using the continuity of wave parameters. Second, to reduce the impact of the garden sprinkler effect on tracking, tracked wave events are merged if their boundary outlines and wave parameters on these boundaries are both in good agreement. Partitioned wave information from the Integrated Ocean Waves for Geophysical and other Applications dataset is used to test the performance of this spatial tracking approach. The test results indicate that this approach is able to capture the primary features of partitioned wave fields, demonstrating its potential for wave data analysis, model verification, and data assimilation.
