Occurrence of extreme waves in three-dimensional mechanically generated wave fields propagating over an oblique current

Laboratory experiments were performed to study the dynamics of three- dimensional mechanically generated waves propagating over an oblique current in partial opposition. The flow velocity varied along the mean wave direction of propagation with an increasing trend between the wave-maker and the cent...
