What Makes Freak Waves Stable? Modelling Non-Linear Giant Waves

Saturday, June 19, 2010 - 10:40 in Physics & Chemistry

Giant freak waves - seriously, that is what oceanographers and physicists call them - are called that because they can appear on the open sea out of nowhere. Researchers from the Ruhr- Universität Bochum and the University of Umeå, Sweden say they have developed a new statistical model for non-linear, interacting waves in computer simulations which will allow them to be theoretically calculated and modeled. read more
