Title of PhD thesis: "Numerical modelling of nonlinear 3- and 4-wave interactions in spectral sea- state models in finite and variable water depth, with effects of an ambient ocean current."

The objective of the Master’s thesis is to compare different NWT in terms of efficiency and accuracy. Comparisons will be achieved on a set of experimental tests already conducted in ECN. Different types of wave fields will be studied, with an increasing degree of complexity: regular waves, unidirectional irregular waves and multidirectional irregular waves. In addition, the wave conditions will cover mild sea conditions up to extreme sea states, exhibiting breaking events. Each numerical model has a different methodology to take care of breaking event and it will be one particular focus of the Master’s thesis.
