Ветровое волнение океана и волны-убийцы. Владимир Захаров
1. Freak Waves and Analytical
Theory of Wind-Driven Sea
V.E. Zakharov
2. There are two types of rare catastrophic events on
the ocean surface:
1. Freak waves (major catastrophic event)
2. Wave breaking (minor catastrophic event)
Freak waves are responsible for ship-wreaking, loss of boats, cargo and lives.
Wave breaking is the most important mechanism of wave energy dissipation
and for transport of momentum from wind to ocean.
Analytic theory for both of them is not developed
3. “New Year” wave – 1995 year
Extreme wave in the Black sea – 2002 year

Sir Francis Beaufort, FRS, FRO, FRGS,
1774, Ireland — 1857, Sussex
The Beaufort Scale is an
empirical measure for
describing wind speed
based mainly on
observed sea conditions.
Its full name is the
Beaufort Wind Force
Scale.

31. The nonlinearity gives a chance
for the analytical theory
The nonlinear
relaxation rate is one
(or more) orders
higher than wind
wave pumping rate
Thus, an asymptotic model can be developed
where effect of wave-wave resonant interactions
is a dominating mechanism

0
• Does not contain wind speed (?!);
• Does not contain parameters of self-similar
solutions (parameter of adiabaticity
if we assume the slowly varying wave
growth conditions);
• Does not refer to initial state. Waves forget
their history
40. How to treat the invariant?

0
• Lifetime is proportional to the instant
nonlinear relaxation rate
• In fact, we change a concept:
nl ~ ~ 4
`Waves evolve on their own'
instead of
`Wind rules waves'

42. Does the invariant work?
Our collection of simulations of duration-limited growth
Somewhat eclectic presentation: wind-free invariant

43. Our wind-free invariant implies
wind-free scaling of wave growth dependencies
