Abstract
Investigating the wave hydrodynamics of free-surface flow over rippled bottoms is a continuing concern due to the existence of submarine multiple sandbars and ambient flow in coastal and estuarial areas. More attention to free-surface wave stimulation has been received from the perspective of resonant wave-wave interaction, which is an intensive way for wave energy transfer and a potential way for wave component generation. However, the basic behavior of the triad resonant interaction of this problem is still limited and unclear. In this study, the triad resonant interaction induced by steady free-surface flow over rippled bottoms is numerically investigated by means of the High-Order Spectral (HOS) method. By considering the interactions among free-surface waves, ambient current, and rippled bottoms, the numerical model is applied for this situation based on Zakharov equation with ambient flow term. The temporal evolution of the triad resonant wave amplitude has been numerically investigated and compared well with multiple-scale expansion perturbation theory. Specifically, the temporal evolution behaviors of all six triad resonant wave components are confirmed by both numerical simulation and nonlinear perturbation analysis.
