Zusammenfassung |
In the past decade it became customary to relate the probability of
appearance of extremely steep (the so-called freak, or rogue waves) to the
value of the Benjamin-Feir Index (BFI) that represents the ratio of wave
nonlinearity to the spectral width. This ratio appears naturally in the cubic
Schrödinger equation that describes evolution of unidirectional
narrow-banded wave field. The notion of this index stems from the
Benjamin-Feir linear stability analysis of Stokes wave. The application of
BFI to evaluate the evolution of wave fields, with non-vanishing amplitudes
of sideband disturbances, is investigated using the Zakharov equation as the
theoretical model. The present analysis considers a 3-wave system for which
the exact analytical solution of the model equations is available. |
