Abstract
Very steep unsteady water waves are modelled by an accurate numerical computer program. Recent work is discussed with particular emphasis on waves that are nearly breaking as they approach a vertical wall. Extremely violent water motion is calculated in full detail, with water accelerations exceeding 1000 g, and transient pressures exceeding 30 times the hydrostatic pressure.
