Anomalous waves triggered by abrupt depth changes: laboratory experiments and truncated KdV statistical mechanics
M. N. J. Moore, C. Tyler Bolles, Andrew J. Majda +1
Recent laboratory experiments of Bolles et al. (2019) demonstrate that an abrupt change in bottom topography can trigger anomalous statistics in randomized surface waves. Motivated…

Anomalous wave statistics induced by abrupt depth change
C. Tyler Bolles, Kevin Speer, M. N. J. Moore
Laboratory experiments reveal that variations in bottom topography can qualitatively alter the distribution of randomized surface waves. A normally-distributed, unidirectional wave…
