Over a decade ago, an analogy was drawn between the generation of large ocean waves
and the propagation of light fields in optical fibres. This analogy drove numerous …

HOS-ocean is an efficient High-Order Spectral code developed to solve the deterministic
propagation of nonlinear wavefields in open ocean. HOS-ocean is released as open-source …

Rogue waves are anomalously high waves that may suddenly form on the sea surface. At
the dawn of the 21st century, they attracted the interest of researchers, from oceanographers …

General dark solitons and mixed solutions consisting of dark solitons and breathers for the
third-type Davey-Stewartson (DS-III) equation are derived by employing the bilinear method …

We report direct observations of surface waves from a stereo camera system along with
concurrent measurements of wind speed during an expedition across the Southern Ocean in …

As it strongly impacts the design of offshore structures, the realistic reproduction of sea
states in experimental and numerical wave tanks is of great interest to the ocean …

Directional distribution is believed to have a significant impact on the statistical
characteristics in multi-directional sea states. In real sea states, short-crested waves are …

Two freak waves were observed a day apart in October 2009 at a 5000-m deep moored
station in the northwest Pacific Ocean. As the typhoon passed by, the wave system …

When making directional surface gravity waves in a wave tank or when initialising numerical
simulations of the ocean, the wave spectrum is often curtailed suppressing higher …

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 …
