The role of meteorological focusing in generating rogue wave conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rogue waves are believed to be the consequence of focusing of wave energy. While there are several ways that energy may be focused, we concentrate here on the role of meteorological patterns in generating mixed sea conditions. We demonstrate the sharp increase in the probability of high wave crests for a given significant height when the sea is mixed, i.e., consists of wave trains arriving from very different directions. Then, using a full spectral wave prediction model forced by NCEP winds on the Atlantic Ocean, we illustrate the role of meteorological focusing in enhancing the probability of occurrence of rogue waves.

Ultrasound wave is a kind of waves with the frequency higher than the human audible frequency. Although ultrasound was first used for military identification purposes, it has been used for decades for various other applications, especially medical applications. Medical applications of ultrasound include diagnostic and therapeutic applications, such as for the treatment of cancer. In this paper,...
متن کاملRogue waves and wave breaking – How are these phenomena related?
According to prevailing ideas, the formation of rogue waves and the onset of wave breaking share a common physical framework: energy focusing within nonlinear wave groups. For 2D (one horizontal spatial direction) wave packet evolution, this correspondence appears to be very close. However, the situation is less clear for 3D propagation, and in the open ocean, observed breaking of dominant wind...

The rouge waves in an optically injected semiconductor lasers are receiving a lot of interest. In this work, the generating and controlling of the rogue waves in semiconductor lasers have been investigated.

متن کاملNumerical modeling of extreme rogue waves generated by directional energy focusing
Three-dimensional (3D) directional wave focusing is one of the mechanisms that contributes to the generation of extreme waves, also known as rogue waves, in the ocean. To simulate and analyze this phenomenon, we generate extreme waves in a 3D numerical wave tank (NWT), by specifying the motion of a snake wavemaker. The NWT solves fully nonlinear potential flow equations with a free surface, usi...
متن کاملOcean rogue waves and their phase space dynamics in the limit of a linear interference model
We reanalyse the probability for formation of extreme waves using the simple model of linear interference of a finite number of elementary waves with fixed amplitude and random phase fluctuations. Under these model assumptions no rogue waves appear when less than 10 elementary waves interfere with each other. Above this threshold rogue wave formation becomes increasingly likely, with appearance...
