The Journal publishes carefully selected articles covering all aspects of water waves, both theoretical (including rigorous mathematics, mathematical modelling and numerical simulations) and practical (including laboratory and field work, computational techniques and statistical data analysis). The journal is distinguished by a strictly interdisciplinary focus, and all authors are expected to write an introduction explaining the main findings of their article in terms accessible to non-specialists, and placing the results in a broader context. Contributions featuring a combination of different methodologies are especially welcome. The Journal is edited by a dedicated team of leading experts who are committed to publishing papers of the highest scientific quality. Articles should contain new and non-trivial results on any aspect of water waves. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) ocean waves, coastal modeling, river flow, internal and interfacial waves, hydroelastic waves, hydroacoustic waves, wave-current and wave-structure interactions, air-sea interaction, freak waves, tsunamis, and wave energy. Manuscripts should be written in standard scientific English, and authors should strive to be concise and clear in the formulation of their results. Submissions containing an excessive number of misprints or unclear language may be rejected without review. Authors are encouraged to mention opposing views, concurrent developments by other researchers and similar results which might be in support or in conflict with their findings. If data are presented in an article, authors should strive to provide a fair balance of all available data, whether they support or contradict a given conclusion.

We explore extreme nonlinear water-wave amplification in a contraction or, analogously, wave amplification in crossing seas. The latter case can lead to extreme or rogue-wave formation at sea. First, amplification of a solitary-water-wave compound running into a contraction is disseminated experimentally in a wave tank. Maximum amplification in our bore–soliton–splash observed is circa tenfold. Subsequently,...

Using Zakharov integral equation approach, a pair of coupled non-linear evolution equations are derived for two co-propagating weakly nonlinear gravity wave packets over finite depth fluid. Equations obtained here are not valid for resonant or quasi-resonant three-wave interactions and also inapplicable for shallow water. The two evolution equations are then employed to perform modulational instability...
Water Waves > 2019 > 1 > 2 > 315-342
We present a high-order nodal spectral element method for the two-dimensional simulation of nonlinear water waves. The model is based on the mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian (MEL) method. Wave interaction with fixed truncated structures is handled using unstructured meshes consisting of high-order iso-parametric quadrilateral/triangular elements to represent the body surfaces as well as the free surface...
