SUMMARY:On resurging a bore-soliton-splash rogue wave - Professor Onno Bok

CONTACT:Dr C. P.  Caulfield
DESCRIPTION:We were able to create an anomalously high rogue wave splash i
 n a water wave channel with a convergence involving a bore and solitons\, 
 and we could control it. Unexpectedly\, this man-made extreme or rogue wav
 e is related to rogue waves in multidirectional seas\, solutions of the KP
 -equation\, tsunami run-up into coastal valleys\, and certain wave-energy 
 devices\, as we will show. Some steps towards the mathematical and numeric
 al modeling of this bore-soliton-splash will be discussed\, including accu
 rate conservative discretizations of water waves\, a theoretical model for
  bores in dispersive wave models\, and a single-phase mixture theory for a
 ir- and water in an approximate model for intermittent wave breaking.
