Abstract:
The occurrence of rogue waves is closely related to the non-Gaussianity of sea states, and this non-Gaussianity can be estimated using corresponding two-dimensional wave spectra. This paper presents an approach to non-Gaussianity estimation based on a phase-resolving model called the high-order spectral method (HOSM). Based on numerous HOSM simulations, a set of precalculated non-Gaussianity indicators was established that could be applied to real sea states without any calibration of spectral shapes. With a newly developed extraction approach, the indicators for given two-dimensional wave spectra could then be conveniently extracted from the precalculated dataset. The feasibility of the newly developed approach in a real wave environment is verified. Using the estimation approach, phase-resolved non-Gaussianity can now be illustrated throughout the evolution of sea states of interest, not just at a few specific times; and the level of non-Gaussianity at any time in a duration can be identified according to the statistics (e.g., quantities) of the phase-resolved indicators, that are obtained throughout the duration concerned.
