Rogue Wave Statistics from a Sparse Coherent Structure Decomposition

Yuchen He, Amin Chabchoub, Zhan Wang

While conventional rogue wave statistical models rely on linear or weakly nonlinear descriptions of random seas, we demonstrate experimentally that moderately or strongly nonlinear…

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…

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…

On Long-Crested Ocean Rogue Waves Originating From Localized Amplitude and Frequency Modulations

Yuchen He, Amin Chabchoub

Rogue waves are known to occur on the ocean surface leading to significant damage to marine installations and compromising ship safety. Understanding the physical mechanisms respon…

Hydrodynamic modulation instability triggered by a two-wave system

Yuchen He, Jinghua Wang, Bertrand Kibler +1

The modulation instability (MI) is responsible for the disintegration of a regular nonlinear wave train and can lead to strong localizations in a from of rogue waves. This mechanis…

Lifetime Characterization of Extreme Wave Localizations in Crossing Seas

Yuchen He, Jinghua Wang, Jingsong He +3

Rogue waves (RWs) can form on the ocean surface due to quasi-four wave resonant interaction or superposition principle. Both mechanisms have been acutely studied. The first of the…

Extreme wave excitation from localized phase-shift perturbations

Yuchen He, Andy Witt, Stefano Trillo +2

The modulation instability is a focusing mechanism responsible for the formation of strong wave localizations not only on the water surface, but also in a variety of nonlinear disp…

Experimental evidence of nonlinear focusing in standing water waves

Yuchen He, Alexey Slunyaev, Nobuhito Mori +1

Nonlinear wave focusing originating from the universal modulation instability (MI) is responsible for the formation of strong wave localizations on the water surface and in nonline…

Galilean-transformed solitons and supercontinuum generation in dispersive media

Yuchen He, Guillaume Ducrozet, Norbert Hoffmann +2

The Galilean transformation is a universal operation connecting the coordinates of a dynamical system, which move relative to each other with a constant speed. In the context of ex…
