Extreme Waves

 

International Workshop
28 August - 01 September 2023

Oceanic rogue waves are large and unexpected surface water waves that are extremely dangerous, even to large ships such as ocean liners or submarines as well as to marine structures. They exist everywhere: on the surface of deep and shallow waters and even in the deep internal layers of the ocean. Similar waves on a much smaller scale in optical fibres are in many ways analogous to their larger counterparts of the oceanic scale. Extreme waves are presently an interdisciplinary research subject covering BEC, plasma waves and even quantum optics. Knowledge accumulated so far in this active research area may add new ideas on how extreme events of more general nature occur. The most recent findings and major concepts of extreme waves, which include rogue waves as well as exploding dissipative solitons, will be elaborated and discussed in this workshop.

Topics include

    • Extreme waves in the ocean
    • Optical rogue waves
    • Interdisciplinary approach to extreme waves
    • Mathematical description of extreme waves
    • Rogue wave prediction
    • Extreme waves in turbulent fields
    • Extreme waves in water tanks
    • Statistics of rogue waves
    • Extreme waves in shallow water
    • Exploding dissipative solitons
