In the present study, we performed experiments on the evolution of gravity-driven nonlinear traveling free surface waves over strongly undulated inclines. We focused on the impact of the excitation frequency and amplitude and the substrates’ shape and periodicity on the traveling wave. Thereby, we revealed phenomena concerning the amplitude evolution of convectively unstable waves. We can classify the wave evolution in three categories: (1) A normal exponential growth of the wave until it reaches a saturation amplitude. (2) An exponential growth of the wave and an abrupt collapse of the wave leading to a wave with a saturated amplitude, which is sensibly smaller than the maximal amplitude. (3) An alternating exponential growth and breaking of the wave. By using Fourier analysis, we investigated the waves in more detail. Furthermore, we report (a) a selection of excitation frequencies for the wave breaking, (b) a major impact of the steady state free surface, especially its mean or global curvature, (c) a bubble formation occurring at the wave breaking, (d) an overlap of the wave front, and (e) a formation of a jet during wave breaking.In the present study, we performed experiments on the evolution of gravity-driven nonlinear traveling free surface waves over strongly undulated inclines.
