- Abstract
We present the study of the ST6 balanced set of wind energy input and wave energy dissipation due to wave breaking source terms, offered as the option in operational wave forecasting models and based on theoretical self-similarity analysis and numerical simulation of the wave energy radiative transfer equation. The study relies on the classical limited fetch wind wave excitation problem with constant wind blowing orthogonally to the shoreline toward the open ocean. It is found that the ST6 model exhibits asymptotic quasi self-similar behavior for fetches exceeding ≃ 25 km, as well as non-universal wave energy growth for shorter fetches, depending on the shoreline wave energy levels. We construct the alternative model PGZ-2 from a self-similar consideration, which reproduces field experimental data almost in the whole fetch span and reduces wave energy evolution dependence on the shoreline energy level. We assert that the PGZ-2 model is more accurate than the ST6 model. Moreover, it has a wider area of applicability.
