Titre : | Rogue Waves in the Ocean : Observations, Theories and Modelling | Type de document : | document imprimé | Auteurs : | Christian Kharif, Auteur ; Efim Pelinovsky, Auteur ; Alexey Slunyaev | Editeur : | Springer | Année de publication : | 2009 | Collection : | Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-3-540-88418-7 | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Mots-clés : | applied mathematics fluid mechanics natural hazards nonlinear waves physical oceanography | Résumé : | The book is written for specialists in the fields of fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, nonlinear physics, physical oceanography and geophysics, and also for students learning these subjects. It includes a large variety of observational data of freak waves in the seas and coastal waters and presents elements of the statistical theory of extreme water waves. The book describes the modern approaches and theoretical models applied to explain the physical origin of such anomalous waves on the sea surface, taking into account wind flow above waves and also variable bathymetry and currents. Based on observed data, theories are presented which estimate prognostic characteristics of the freak waves (eg: life-time and probability. |
