Legena Henry specializes in Ocean wave statistics and Marine hydrodynamics. She has partially fulfilled the requirements of a PhD in Ocean Engineering in the Center for Ocean Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her present ongoing research focuses on an analytical approach to statistical moments associated with large ocean waves.
In the present work, we study the statistics of wavefields obtained from non-linear phase-resolved simulations. The numerical model used to generate the waves models wave-wave interactions based on the fully nonlinear Zakharov equations. We vary the simulated wavefield's input spectral properties: directional spreading function, Phillips parameter and peak shape parameter. We then investigate the relationships between a wavefield's input spectral properties and its output physical properties via statistical analysis. We investigate surface elevation distribution, wave definition methods in a nonlinear wavefield with a two-dimensional wavenumber, defined waves' distributions, and the occurrence and spacing of large wave events.
