There is much speculation that the largest and steepest waves may need to be modelled with different physics to the majority of the waves on the open ocean. This review examines the various physical mechanisms which may play an important role in the dynamics of extreme waves. We examine the evidence for these mechanisms in numerical and physical wavetanks, and look at the evidence that such mechanisms might also exist in the real ocean.
人们推测，最大和最陡峭的波浪可能需要用不同于开阔海域大多数波浪的物理特性来建模。本文回顾了各种物理机制，这些机制可能在极端波的动力学中发挥重要作用。我们考察了这些机制在数值和物理水槽中的证据，并探讨了这些机制在真实海洋中也可能存在的证据。
