Rogue waves is the name given by oceanographers to isolated large amplitude waves, that
occur more frequently than expected for normal, Gaussian distributed, statistical events …

Since the 1990s, the modulational instability has commonly been used to explain the
occurrence of rogue waves that appear from nowhere in the open ocean. However, the …

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

We show experimental evidence that as relatively long unidirectional waves propagate over
a sloping bottom, from a deeper to a shallower domain, there can be a local maximum of …

We present a study on the prediction of rogue waves during the 1-hour sea state of
Hurricane Joaquin when the Merchant Vessel El Faro sank east of the Bahamas on October …

In this paper, we revisit Janssen's (J. Phys. Oceanogr., vol. 33 (4), 2003, pp. 863–884)
formulation for the dynamic excess kurtosis of weakly nonlinear gravity waves in deep water …

Results of experiments on the evolution of the Peregrine breather (PB) in a wave tank are
presented and compared with numerical simulations based on the Nonlinear Schrödinger …

We study the evolution of unidirectional water waves from a randomly forced input condition
with uncorrelated Fourier components. We examine the kurtosis of the linearised free …

Results of extensive experiments on propagation of unidirectional nonlinear random waves
in a large wave tank are presented. The nonlinearity of the wavefield determined by the …

In the context of ocean engineering studies or ocean wave physics research, irregular wave
fields are generated in experimental and numerical wave tanks. In these environments, a …
