Abstract

Laboratory experiments of wave blocking have been performed with periodic and random waves including partial and complete wave blocking in a novel experimental arrangement with a constant cross-section in the region where the longitudinal current velocity varies in the longitudinal direction. Observations have been made of reflected waves with downstream group velocity and upstream phase velocity. Analysis in frequency-wave number space has successfully identified these two wave components. State-of-the-art model results of the amplitude evolution show significant discrepancies with the observations.
