Fold catastrophe in breaking waves
Francesco Fedele
We present a dynamical-systems perspective on wave breaking for ideal incompressible free-surface flows. By tracking the most energetic hotspot on the wave surface, we find that ne…
Hamiltonian Lorenz-like models
Francesco Fedele, Cristel Chandre, Martin Horvat +1
The reduced-complexity models developed by Edward Lorenz are widely used in atmospheric and climate sciences to study nonlinear aspect of dynamics and to demonstrate new methods fo…
Kinematics of fluid particles on the sea surface. Hamiltonian theory
Francesco Fedele, Cristel Chandre, Mohammad Farazmand
We derive the John-Sclavounos equations describing the motion of a fluid particle on the sea surface from first principles using Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms applied to th…
On a unified breaking onset threshold for gravity waves in deep and intermediate depth water
X. Barthelemy, M. L. Banner, W. L. Peirson +3
We revisit the classical but as yet unresolved problem of predicting the breaking onset of 2D and 3D irrotational gravity water waves. This study focuses on domains with flat botto…
Linking reduced breaking crest speeds to unsteady nonlinear water wave group behavior
Michael Banner, Xavier Barthelemy, Francesco Fedele +4
Observations show that maximally-steep breaking water wave crest speeds are much slower than expected. We report a wave-crest slowdown mechanism generic to unsteady propagating dee…
