| Abstract | Interaction of random waves and currents is one of the most important and practical problems in the field of Coastal Engineering. A new method is presented to describe the one-dimensional frequency spectral refraction by current and/or topography when random waves propogate into current region field with varying water depth at an approaching angle. An experimental study in random waves opposing current has been carried out to verify the present method partially. The results of the comparison between the predicted and measured values in recommended significant wave height could be considered accurate. The deviation in the wave surface spectrum especially in the equilibrium range then is suggested as the result of energy transformation between individual waves due to the wave-wave interaction. |
