Abstract: This work highlights the effects of nonlinearity on extreme events rising during directional focused and random wave simulations in finite water depths. Large waves are formed through a series of linear and nonlinear focused and random simulations. The effect of water depth and directionality is considered by applying different directional spreadings relating to a range of short crested to long crested sea states. The sea-state becomes more long-crested during the formulation of the extreme events in both focused and random nonlinear simulations, while being highly dependent on the directionality of the wavefield.
