Modeling extreme wave heights from laboratory experiments with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Spatial variation of nonlinear wave groups with different initial envelope shapes is theoretically studied first, confirming that the simplest nonlinear theoretical model is capable of describing the evolution of propagating wave packets in deep water. Moreover, three groups of laboratory experiment...
