Nonlinear Fourier Analysis with Sine Wave, Stokes Wave and Rogue Wave Basis Functions: A Paradigm Change in the Understanding of Nonlinear Waves Alfred Osborne Nonlinear Waves Research Corporation, Alexandria, Virginia, U. S. A. ([email protected]) I give a new perspective for the description of nonlinear water wave trains using mathematical methods I refer to as nonlinear Fourier analysis (NLFA). I discuss how this approach holds for one- space and one time dimensions (1+1) and for two-space and one time dimensions (2+1) to all orders of approximation. I begin with the nonlinear Schroedinger (NLS) equation in 1+1 dimensions: Here the NLFA method is derived from the complete integrability of the equation by the periodic inverse scattering transform. I show how to compute the nonlinear Fourier series that exactly solve 1+1 NLS. I then show how to extend the order of 1+1 NLS to the Dysthe and the extended Dysthe equations. I also show how to include directional spreading in the formulation so that I can address the 2+1 NLS, the 2+1 Dysthe and the 2+1 Trulsen-Dysthe equations. This hierarchy of equations extends formally all the way to the Zakharov equations in the infinite order limit. Each order and extension from 1+1 to 2+1 dimensions is characterized by its own modulational dispersion relation that is required at each order of the NLFA formalism. NLFA is characterized by its own fundamental nonlinear Fourier series, which has particular nonlinear Fourier modes: sine waves, Stokes waves and breather trains. We are all familiar with sine waves (known for centuries) and Stokes waves (known since the Stokes paper in 1847). Breather trains have become known over the past three decades as a major source of rogue or freak waves in the ocean: Breather packets are known to pulse up and down during their evolution. At the moment of the maximum amplitude the largest wave in a breather packet is often referred to as a “rogue” or “freak” wave. Such extreme packets are known to be “coherent structures" so that pure linear dispersion does not occur as in a linear packet. Instead the breather packets have components that are phase locked with each other and hence remain coherent and are “long lived” just as vortices do in classical turbulence. Because the breathers live for a long time, the notion of risk based upon linear dispersion, as used in the oil and shipping industries, must be revised upwards. I discuss how to apply NLFA to (1) nonlinearly Fourier analyze time series, (2) to analyze wave fields from radar, lidar and synthetic aperture radar measurements, (3) how to treat NLFA to describe nonlinear, random wave trains using a kind of nonlinear random phase approximation and (4) how to compute the nonlinear power spectrum in terms of the parameters used to describe the rogue wave Fourier modes in a random wave train. Thus the emphasis here is to discuss a number of new tools for nonlinear Fourier analysis in a wide range of problems in the field of ocean surface waves. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Wave behavior depends on a wave’s size and water depth. Wind waves: energy is transferred from wind to water. Waves can change direction by refraction and diffraction, can interfere with one another, & reflect from solid objects. Orbital waves are a type of progressive wave: i.e. waves of moving energy traveling in one direction along a surface, where particles of water move in closed circles as the wave passes. Free waves move independently of the generating force: wind waves.

Also, trough heights of 20 to 30 meters—occur more over the past several decades, a surprising number of frequently than previously thought (MaxWave Project, large commercial vessels have been lost in incidents 2003).

Instabilities, Breathers and Rogue Waves in Optics
Instabilities, breathers and rogue waves in optics John M. Dudley1, Frédéric Dias2, Miro Erkintalo3, Goëry Genty4 1. Institut FEMTO-ST, UMR 6174 CNRS-Université de Franche-Comté, Besançon, France 2. School of Mathematical Sciences, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland 3. Department of Physics, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand 4. Department of Physics, Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland Optical rogue waves are rare yet extreme fluctuations in the value of an optical field. The terminology was first used in the context of an analogy between pulse propagation in optical fibre and wave group propagation on deep water, but has since been generalized to describe many other processes in optics. This paper provides an overview of this field, concentrating primarily on propagation in optical fibre systems that exhibit nonlinear breather and soliton dynamics, but also discussing other optical systems where extreme events have been reported. Although statistical features such as long-tailed probability distributions are often considered the defining feature of rogue waves, we emphasise the underlying physical processes that drive the appearance of extreme optical structures. Many physical systems exhibit behaviour associated with the emergence of high amplitude events that occur with low probability but that have dramatic impact. Perhaps the most celebrated examples of such processes are the giant oceanic “rogue waves” that emerge unexpectedly from the sea with great destructive power [1]. There is general agreement that 1 the emergence of giant waves involves physics different from that generating the usual population of ocean waves, but equally there is a consensus that one unique causative mechanism is unlikely.

Orzech * and David Wang Naval Research Lab, 1009 Balch Blvd, Stennis Space Ctr, MS 39529, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-228-688-5974 Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 5 November 2020; Published: 7 November 2020 Abstract: We conduct a comprehensive analysis of over 350 years of accumulated ocean surface elevation time series and examine evidence for the effects of nonlinear frequency modulation, wave directional spread, surface current shear, and wind forcing on the likelihood of rogue wave development. Hourly sections of positional time series from 34 surface buoys are examined to identify over 8000 rogue wave events, recording wave sizes, times of occurrence, and geographic locations. The initial dataset is subjected to a quality control process to identify and remove false positives. We investigate the correlation of rogue events with the specified marine environmental factors in an attempt to validate the predictions of earlier theoretical and modeling analyses. The rogue event dataset is contrasted with a control, non-rogue dataset containing a total of nearly 510,000 hourly data segments of surface wave data. The analysis combines the wave records with surface current and wind data from state-of-the-art global coupled models. Statistics of the identified rogue events are summarized, and results of the environmental factor analysis are presented and discussed. This study finds some support for a causal connection between each of the environmental factors and the development of rogue waves. Results also suggest that localized environmental conditions at specific sites, such as seasonal variations in directional spread and/or high surface current vorticity, may provide useful signals of greater rogue wave threat.

Pechorskaya Street, Nizhny Novgorod 603950, Russia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 March 2019; Accepted: 10 April 2019; Published: 12 April 2019 Abstract: The issue of rogue wave lifetimes is addressed in this study, which helps to detail the general picture of this dangerous oceanic phenomenon. The direct numerical simulations of irregular wave ensembles are performed to obtain the complete accurate data on the rogue wave occurrence and evolution. Purely collinear wave systems, moderately crested, and short-crested sea states have been simulated by means of the high-order spectral method for the potential Euler equations. As rogue waves are transient and poorly reflect the physical effects, we join instant abnormally high waves in close locations and close time moments to new objects, rogue events, which helps to retrieve the abnormal occurrences more stably and more consistently from the physical point of view. The rogue event lifetime probability distributions are calculated based on the simulated wave data. They show the distinctive difference between rough sea states with small directional bandwidth on one part, and small-amplitude sea states and short-crested states on the other part.
