Energetics and Stochastics of Extreme Waves Breaking over a Symmetrical Breakwater

Saulo Mendes, Yuchen He, Jérôme Kasparian +1

Rogue wave formation and enhancement over coastal areas have been documented over the last decade. This seems to contradict the observed low rogue wave (RW) probability near the su…

Effect of directionality on extreme wave formation during nonlinear shoaling

Jie Zhang, Yuxiang Ma, Jiawen Sun +3

Recent studies have shown that, in coastal waters where water depth decreases significantly due to rapid bathymetric changes, the non-equilibrium dynamics (NED) substantially incre…

Evolution of extreme nonlinear wave fields over strongly reflective plane beaches

Jie Zhang, Michel Benoit, Saulo Mendes

The description of complex wave processes, in addition to the shoaling problem, is often cumbersome even for the evolution of regular waves. For reflection under the regime of wave…

Shoaling of Finite-Amplitude Rogue Waves

Saulo Mendes, Yuchen He, Jérôme Kasparian +1

Rogue wave formation and enhancement over coastal areas have been documented over the last decade. However, this recent knowledge is in apparent contradiction with the established…

Symmetric influence of forward and opposing tidal currents on rogue wave statistics

Saulo Mendes, Ina Teutsch, Jérôme Kasparian

Rogue waves are associated with various ocean processes, both at the coast and in the open ocean. In either zone, inhomogeneities in the wave field caused by shoaling, crossing sea…
