Short summary
Currents are high-speed continuous ocean flows. In general, currents accelerate surface waves. However, studies are performed at normal wind speeds only, with few studies at extremely high wind speeds. We investigate the effects of current on surface waves at extremely high wind speeds and use three wind-wave tanks to demonstrate surface waves and currents. As a result, at extremely high wind speeds, a similar acceleration effect is observed as under the conditions of normal wind speeds.
