An extended Kundu-Eckhaus equation for modeling dynamics of rogue waves in a chaotic wave-current field

In this paper we propose an extended Kundu-Eckhaus equation (KEE) for modeling the dynamics of skewed rogue waves emerging in the vicinity of a wave blocking point due to opposing current. The equation we propose is a KEE with an additional potential term therefore the results presented in this paper can easily be generalized to study the quantum tunneling properties of the rogue waves and ultrashort (femtosecond) pulses of the KEE. In the frame of the extended KEE, we numerically show that the chaotic perturbations of the ocean current trigger the occurrence of the rogue waves on the ocean surface. We propose and implement a split-step scheme and show that the extended KEE that we propose is unstable against random chaotic perturbations in the current profile. These perturbations transform the monochromatic wave field into a chaotic sea state with many peaks. We numerically show that the shapes of rogue waves due to perturbations in the current profile closely follow the form of rational rogue wave solutions, especially for the central peak. We also discuss the effects of magnitude of the chaotic current perturbations on the statistics of the rogue wave occurrence.

Assessment and Enhancement of {SAR} non-coherent Change Detection Techniques Following Oil Spills

In this study the detection of the oil spill using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is considered. Detection of the oil spill is performed using change detection algorithms between imagery acquired at different times. The specific algorithms used are the correlation coefficient change statistic and the intensity ratio change statistic algorithms. Therefore these algorithms and the probabilistic selection of the threshold criteria is reviewed and discussed. A recently offered change detection method which depends on the idea of generating two different final change maps of two images in a sequence, is used. First final change map is obtained by cumulatively adding the sequences of change maps in such a manner that common change areas are excluded and uncommon change areas are included. The second final change map is obtained by comparing the first and the last images in the temporal sequence. This method requires at least three images to be employed and can be generalized to longer temporal image sequences. The purpose of this approach is to provide a double check mechanism to the conventional approach and thus to reduce the probability of false alarm and enhance the change detection. The algorithms mentioned are applied to a 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill imagery together with the method described. It is shown that intensity ratio change statistic is a better tool for identification of the changes due to the oil spill compared to the correlation coefficient change statistic. It is also shown that two final change map method can reduce the probability of false alarm. The data used in this study is acquired by the Japanese Aerospace Agency's Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) through Alaska SAR Facility (ASF) at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK.

Rogue waves of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation in a chaotic wave field

In this paper we study the properties of the chaotic wave fields generated in the frame of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation (KEE). Modulation instability results in a chaotic wave field which exhibits small-scale filaments with a free propagation constant, k. The average velocity of the filaments is approximately given by the average group velocity calculated from the dispersion relation for the plane-wave solution however direction of propagation is controlled by the $β$ parameter, the constant in front of the Raman-effect term. We have also calculated the probabilities of the rogue wave occurrence for various values of propagation constant k and showed that the probability of rogue wave occurrence depends on k. Additionally, we have showed that the probability of rogue wave occurrence significantly depends on the quintic and the Raman-effect nonlinear terms of the KEE. Statistical comparisons between the KEE and the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation have also been presented.

Compressive spectral method for the simulation of the water waves

In this paper an approach for decreasing the computational effort required for the spectral simulations of the water waves is introduced. Signals with majority of the components zero, are known as the sparse signals. Like majority of the signals in the nature it can be realized that water waves are sparse either in time or in the frequency domain. Using the sparsity property of the water waves in the time or in the frequency domain, the compressive sampling algorithm can be used as a tool for improving the performance of the spectral simulation of the water waves. The methodology offered in this paper depends on the idea of using a smaller number of spectral components compared to the classical spectral method with a high number of components. After performing the time integration with a smaller number of spectral components and using the compressive sampling technique, it is shown that the water wave field can be reconstructed with a significantly better efficiency compared to the classical spectral method with a high number of spectral components, especially for long time evolutions. For the sparse water wave model in the time domain the well-known solitary wave solutions of the Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation is considered. For the sparse water wave model in the frequency domain the well-known Airy (linear) ocean waves with Jonswap spectrum is considered. Utilizing a spectral method, it is shown that by using a smaller number of spectral components compared to the classical spectral method with a high number of components, it is possible to simulate the sparse water waves with negligible error in accuracy and a great efficiency especially for large time evolutions.

Compressive Split-Step Fourier Method

In this paper an approach for decreasing the computational effort required for the split-step Fourier method (SSFM) is introduced. It is shown that using the sparsity property of the simulated signals, the compressive sampling algorithm can be used as a very efficient tool for the split-step spectral simulations of various phenomena which can be modeled by using differential equations. The proposed method depends on the idea of using a smaller number of spectral components compared to the classical split-step Fourier method with a high number of components. After performing the time integration with a smaller number of spectral components and using the compressive sampling technique with l1 minimization, it is shown that the sparse signal can be reconstructed with a significantly better efficiency compared to the classical split-step Fourier method. Proposed method can be named as compressive split-step Fourier method (CSSFM). For testing of the proposed method the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation and its one-soliton and two-soliton solutions are considered.

Shapes and Statistics of the Rogue Waves Generated by Chaotic Ocean Current

In this study we discuss the shapes and statistics of the rogue (freak) waves emerging due to wave-current interactions. With this purpose, we use a simple governing equation which is a nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) extended by R. Smith (1976). This extended NLSE accounts for the effects of current gradient on the nonlinear dynamics of the ocean surface near blocking point. Using a split-step scheme we show that the extended NLSE of Smith is unstable against random chaotic perturbation in the current profile. Therefore the monochromatic wave field with unit amplitude turns into a chaotic sea state with many peaks. By comparing the numerical and analytical results, we show that rogue waves due to perturbations in the current profile are in the form of rational rogue wave solutions of the NLSE. We also discuss the effects of magnitude of the chaotic current profile perturbations on the statistics of the rogue wave generation at the ocean surface. The extension term in Smith's extended NLSE causes phase shifts and it does not change the total energy level of the wave field. Using the methodology adopted in this work, the dynamics of rogue wave occurrence on the ocean surface due to blocking effect of currents can be studied. This enhances the safety of the offshore operations and ocean travel.

Early Detection of Rogue Waves by the Wavelet Transforms

We discuss the possible advantages of using the wavelet transform over the Fourier transform for the early detection of rogue waves. We show that the triangular wavelet spectra of the rogue waves can be detected at early stages of the development of rogue waves in a chaotic wave field. Compared to the Fourier spectra, the wavelet spectra is capable of detecting not only the emergence of a rogue wave but also its possible spatial (or temporal) location. Due to this fact, wavelet transform is also capable of predicting the characteristic distances between successive rogue waves. Therefore multiple simultaneous breaking of the successive rogue waves on ships or on the offshore structures can be predicted and avoided by smart designs and operations.
