DescriptionRogue waves breaking behavior at different crossing angles, McAllister 2019.png
English: Images from the 2019 simulation of the Draupner wave, showing how the steepness of the wave forms, and how the crest of a rogue wave breaks, when waves cross at different angles.
In the first row (0 degrees), the crest breaks horizontally and plunges, limiting the wave size.
In the middle row (60 degrees), there is somewhat upward lifted breaking behavior
In the third row (120 degrees), described as the most accurate simulation achieved of the Draupner wave, the wave breaks upward, as a vertical jet, and the wave crest height is not limited by breaking.
