Nonlinear four-wave interaction and freak waves
Four-wave interactions play an important role in the evolution of the spectrum of surface gravity waves. This follows from direct simulations of an ensemble of ocean waves using the Zakharov equation. The theory of homogeneous four-wave interactions, extended to include effects of nonresonant transfer, compares favourably with the ensemble averaged results of the Monte Carlo simulations. In par...
متن کاملLocalized Coherence of Freak Waves
Abstract. This paper investigates in detail a possible mechanism of energy convergence leading to freak waves. We give examples of a freak wave as a (weak) pseudo-maximal wave to illustrate the importance of phase coherence. Given a time signal at a certain position, we identify parts of the time signal with successive high amplitudes, so-called group events, that may lead to a freak wave using...
متن کاملLinear and nonlinear waves
The study of waves can be traced back to antiquity where philosophers, such as Pythagoras (c.560-480 BC), studied the relation of pitch and length of string in musical instruments. However, it was not until the work of Giovani Benedetti (1530-90), Isaac Beeckman (1588-1637) and Galileo (1564-1642) that the relationship between pitch and frequency was discovered. This started the science of acou...
متن کاملAuthor’s Response Localized Coherence of Freak Waves
We thank the anonymous referee #1 for the positive and constructive remarks. Just like the referee, we struggled to improve and simplify the presentation of the technical results. In section 2 we tried to illustrate in a simple way the role of coherence by considering the (weak) pseudomaximal signals. Then, to justify the use of the wavelet transform, we showed how the coherence of phase inform...
متن کاملOn the Concavity of Multivariate Probability Distribution Functions on the Concavity of Multivariate Probability Distribution Functions
We prove that the multivariate standard normal probability distribution function is concave for large argument values. The method of proof allows for the derivation of similar statements for other types of multivariate probability distribution functions too. The result has important application, e.g., in probabilistic constrained stochastic programming problems.
