Rogue and Shock Waves in Nonlinear Dispersive Media
This self-contained set of lectures addresses a gap in the literature by providing a systematic link between the theoretical foundations of the subject matter and cutting-edge applications in both geophysical fluid dynamics and nonlinear optics. Rogue and shock waves are phenomena that may occur in the propagation of waves in any nonlinear dispersive medium. Accordingly, they have been observed in disparate settings – as ocean waves, in nonlinear optics, in Bose-Einstein condensates, and in plasmas. Rogue and dispersive shock waves are both characterized by the development of extremes: for the former, the wave amplitude becomes unusually large, while for the latter, gradients reach extreme values. Both aspects strongly influence the statistical properties of the wave propagation and are thus considered together here in terms of their underlying theoretical treatment. This book offers a self-contained graduate-level text intended as both an introduction and reference guide for a new generation of scientists working on rogue and shock wave phenomena across a broad range of fields in applied physics and geophysics.
Nonlinear Dispersive Waves
This volume explores a number of exciting developments in the field of nonlinear dispersive waves with a particular focus on waves arising in the ocean. Chapters are based on talks given at the workshop “Nonlinear Dispersive Waves” that was held at University College Cork, Ireland, on April 24-25, 2023. Specific topics covered include: The recovery of steady rotational wave surface profiles; Hamiltonian models for the propagation of long gravity waves; Waves propagating at the surface of a fluid covered by floating ice plates; The use of spherical coordinates to describe arctic ocean waves; Boundary value problems related to the Muskat Problem. Nonlinear Dispersive Waves will appeal to researchers as well as graduate students interested in this active area of research.
