Abstract

Extreme waves and their impact are of interest to government agencies, scientists, and the local population alike. Scarcity of data, however, necessitates the development and application of numerical models to simulate wave events and eventually enhance our understanding of ongoing physical processes. Accurate three-dimensional simulations of propagation and interaction of waves in the deep ocean are often costly though. We present a computationally efficient pseudo-spectral model that is capable of simulating extreme waves and that scales on up to several hundred cores.
