On Deviations from Gaussian Statistics for Surface Gravity Waves
M. Onorato, A. R. Osborne, M. Serio
Here we discuss some issues concerning the statistical properties of ocean surface waves. We show that, using the approach of weak turbulence theory, deviations from Gaussian stati…
Extreme waves and modulational instability: wave flume experiments on irregular waves
M. Onorato, A. R. Osborne, M. Serio +3
We discuss the formation of large amplitude waves for sea states characterized by JONSWAP spectra with random phases. In this context we discuss experimental results performed in o…
Instability of two interacting, quasi-monochromatic waves in shallow water
M. Onorato, D. Ambrosi, A. R. Osborne +1
We study the nonlinear interactions of waves with a doubled-peaked power spectrum in shallow water. The starting point is the prototypical equation for nonlinear uni-directional wa…
Landau Damping and Coherent Structures in Narrow-Banded 1+1 Deep Water Gravity Waves
M. Onorato, A. Osborne, M. Serio +1
We study the nonlinear energy transfer around the peak of the spectrum of surface gravity waves by taking into account nonhomogeneous effects. In the narrow-banded approximation th…
Freely decaying weak turbulence for sea surface gravity waves
M. Onorato, A. R. Osborne, D. Resio +4
We study numerically the generation of power laws in the framework of weak turbulence theory for surface gravity waves in deep water. Starting from a random wave field, we let the…
Freak Waves in Random Oceanic Sea States
Miguel Onorato, Alfred R. Osborne, Marina Serio +1
Freak waves are very large, rare events in a random ocean wave train. Here we study the numerical generation of freak waves in a random sea state characterized by the JONSWAP power…
