The Second Order Statistics of High Waves in Wind Sea and Swell

The statistics of extreme wave crest elevation and wave height have been calculated for realistic, directionally spread sea and swell using a probabilistic method tested and described previously. The non-linearity of steep waves is modelled to second order using Sharma and Dean kinematics and a response surface (reliability type) method is used to deduce the crest elevation or wave height corresponding to a given probability of exceedance. The effects of various combinations of sea and swell are evaluated. As expected, in all cases, non-linearity makes extreme crests higher than the corresponding linear ones. The non-linear effects on wave height are relatively small.
