Abstract
The spatial evolution of wind generated water waves in deepwater is investigated numerically and verified by experiments conducted in wind wave channel. A range of study wind forcing are used to evaluate the performance of the adopted numerical model. The computations are based on an appropriately modified unidirectional spatial version of the Zakharov equation that accounts for wind input, dissipation and is applicable for the whole range of wind velocities. Direct comparisons of the measurements and the simulations are made for a selection of the model parameters. The availability of an experimentally verified computational model allows studying the contributions of nonlinearity, wind input, and dissipation, as well as for the stochastic nature of wind-waves separately.
