      Wu, Xiaoni; Hu, Yu; Li, Ye; Yang, Jian; Duan, Lei; Wang, Tongguang; Adcock, Thomas; Jiang, Zhiyu; Gao, Zhen; Lin, Zhiliang; Borthwick, Alistair; Liao, Shijun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Offshore wind is a source of clean, renewable energy of great potential value to the power industry in the context of a low carbon society. Rapid development of offshore wind energy depends on a good understanding of ...
    • Numerical analysis on the generation, propagation and interaction of solitary waves by a Harmonic Polynomial Cell Method 

      Tong, Chao; Shao, Yanlin; Hanssen, Finn-Christian Wickmann; Li, Ye; Xie, Bin; Lin, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      A numerical wave tank based on the Harmonic Polynomial Cell (HPC) method is created to study the generation, propagation and interaction of solitary waves. The HPC method has been proven to be of high accuracy and efficiency ...
    • Surface wavepackets subject to an abrupt depth change. Part 1. Second-order theory 

      Li, Yan; Zheng, Yaokun; Lin, Zhiliang; Adcock, Thomas A.A.; van den Bremer, Ton S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This paper develops second-order theory for narrow-banded surface gravity wavepackets experiencing a sudden depth transition based on a Stokes and multiple-scales expansion. As a wavepacket travels over a sudden depth ...
    • Why rogue waves occur atop abrupt depth transitions 

      Li, Yan; Draycott, Samuel; Zheng, Yaokun; Lin, Zhiliang; Adcock, Thomas A. A.; van den Bremer, Ton S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Abrupt depth transitions (ADTs) have recently been identified as potential causes of ‘rogue’ ocean waves. When stationary and (close-to-) normally distributed waves travel into shallower water over an ADT, distinct spatially ...
