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…

Direction Symmetry of Wave Field Modulation by Tidal Current

Ina Teutsch, Saulo Mendes, Jerome Kasparian

Theoretical studies on the modulation of unidimensional regular waves over a flat bottom due to a current typically assign an asymmetry between the effects of opposing/following st…

Effect of shoaling length on rogue wave occurrence

Jie Zhang, Saulo Mendes, Michel Benoit +1

The impact of shoaling on linear water waves is well-known, but it has only been recently found to significantly amplify both the intensity and frequency of rogue waves in nonlinea…

A Continuous Non-ergodic Theory for the Wave Set-up

Saulo Mendes

Inhomogeneities in the wave field due to wave groups, currents, and shoaling among other ocean processes can affect the mean water level. In this work, the classical and unsolved p…

Nonlinear Wave Transformation over Steep Breakwaters

Saulo Mendes

Wave shoaling of water waves over mild bottom slopes is well described by linearized theories. However, the analytical treatment of nonlinear wave shoaling subject to rapidly varyi…

Global assessment of university research comprehensiveness

Saulo Mendes

The demand for global university league tables has been high over the past two decades. However, significant criticism of their methodologies is accumulating without being addresse…

Non-homogeneous approximation for the kurtosis evolution of shoaling rogue waves

Saulo Mendes, Jérôme Kasparian

Bathymetric changes have been experimentally shown to affect the occurrence of rogue waves. We recently derived a non-homogeneous correction to the spectral analysis, allowing to d…

Saturation of Rogue Wave Amplification over Steep Shoals

Saulo Mendes, Jérôme Kasparian

The shoaling of surface gravity waves has been acknowledged as a mechanism of rogue wave formation. This problem is generally reduced to water waves passing over a step, but non-eq…
