Waveforms described by the second-order Stokes-type approximations are prone to display
anomalous troughs with spurious negative crests. The systemic occurrence of such …

The mechanisms governing the evolution of the wind-wave field in time and in space are not
yet fully understood. Various theoretical approaches have been offered to model wind-wave …

We investigate experimentally the statistical properties of a wind-generated wave field and
the spontaneous formation of rogue waves in an annular flume. Unlike many experiments on …

Assuming resonant nonlinear wave interactions to be the dominant physical mechanism of
growing wind-driven seas we propose a concise relationship between instantaneous wave …

Kinetic equations are widely used in many branches of science to describe the evolution of
random wave spectra. To examine the validity of these equations, we study numerically the …

The spatial evolution of various statistical parameters of fetch-limited waves generated by
steadily blowing wind over mean water flow in a wind-wave flume is investigated …

The structure of the steady boundary layer in the airflow over young wind waves is studied in
detail using extensive data accumulated in our laboratory as well as in additional laboratory …

Experiments on wind-waves in a laboratory tank are carried out for a variety of operational
conditions. In addition to using a conventional wave gauge to determine the temporal …

Based on data of direct wave measurements carried out in the coastal zone of the Black
Sea, the probability of the appearance of negative values of the skewness of sea-surface …

We experimentally and numerically investigate the effect of wind forcing on the spectral
dynamics of Akhmediev breathers, a wave-type known to model the modulation instability …
