作者：JIANG Sheng-chao,LIU Chang-feng,SUN Lei

摘要：Numerical simulations on focused wave propagation are carried out by using three types of numerical models,including the linear potential flow,the nonlinear potential flow and the viscous fluid flow models.The wave-wave interaction of the focused wave group with different frequency bands and input wave amplitudes is examined,by which the influence of free surface nonlinearity and fluid viscosity on the related phenomenon of focused wave is investigated.The significant influence of free surface nonlinearity on the characteristics of focused wave can be observed,including the increased focused wave crest,delayed focused time and downstream shift of focused position with the increase of input amplitude.It can plot the evident difference between the results of the nonlinear potential flow and linear potential flow models.However,only a little discrepancy between the nonlinear potential flow and viscous fluid flow models can be observed,implying the insignificant effect of fluid viscosity on focused wave behavior.Therefore,the nonlinear potential flow model is recommended for simulating the non-breaking focused wave problem in this study.
