Abstract

A spectral model is presented for blocking of long-crested random waves due to non-uniform collinear adverse current in the steady state situation. The spatial evolution of wave components that are blocked by the current is modeled with a spectral wave action balance in the region far from the blocking point, which is matched with a uniformly-valid solution in the region near the blocking point. Wave energy dissipation is taken into account both in the regions far from and near to the "blocking point, including wave energy dissipation due to wave breaking. The fitted model is able to reproduce the observed pattern of the significant wave height variation along the flume well.
