Check this video out (best in 1080p):

A 2D wave flume is set up with different wave conditions. From top to bottom you can see: waves only, current only, and simultaneous waves and current traveling in the same and in opposite directions.

It is interesting to note the effects caused by wave and current interaction: variations in the velocity field and the Doppler effect affecting wave propagation.

The new implementation is already available in GitHub and a tutorial (currentWaveFlume) has been included to help the users set up their cases.

Keep tuned for more updates soon!
