Title Statistical Properties of Directional Ocean Waves: The Role of the Modulational Instability in the Formation of Extreme Events

Modulational instability of dust ion acoustic waves in astrophysical dusty plasmas with non thermal electrons

  Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...

The Deterministic Generation of Extreme Surface Water Waves Based on Soliton on Finite Background in Laboratory

This paper aims to describe a deterministic generation of extreme waves in a typical towing tank. Such a generation involves an input signal to be provided at the wave maker in such a way that at a certain position in the wave tank, say at a position of a tested object, a large amplitude wave emerges. For the purpose, we consider a model called a spatial-NLS describing the spatial propagation o...

Synoptic Analysis of Early Heat Waves in Northwest of Iran

Early heat waves are extreme events that cause heavy losses in plant and animal life and cause many social and economic problems for communities. The purpose of this study was to identify synoptic patterns and statistical analysis of preterm heat waves in northwestern Iran. To do this, the maximum daily temperature data of March 14th was used for fourteen synoptic stations in the northwest of t...

Occurrence of extreme waves in three-dimensional mechanically generated wave fields propagating over an oblique current

Laboratory experiments were performed to study the dynamics of threedimensional mechanically generated waves propagating over an oblique current in partial opposition. The flow velocity varied along the mean wave direction of propagation with an increasing trend between the wave-maker and the centre of the tank. Tests with regular wave packets traversing the area of positive current gradient sh...
