Sea spectra revisited
PublicationPokazano, że widma falowania ITTC, wywodzące się z widma Bretschneidera, zależnego od dwóch parametrów, można zredukować do wspólnego widma bezwymiarowego, co oznacza, że są one geometrycznie powinowate. To samo dotyczy widma JONSWAP, które dodatkowo charakteryzuje trzeci paprametr, związany z kształtem piku. Umożliwia to aproksymację tych widm za pomocą rozkładu log-normalnego, co zapewnia realistyczny parametr szerokości widma,...
