Deep below the surface of the ocean, unseen waves roil and churn the water. These internal waves, traveling between water layers of different temperatures and densities, draw cold, nutrient-rich water ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation ...

A Skoltech researcher has developed a theoretical model of wave formation in straits and channels that accounts for nonlinear effects in the presence of a coastline. This research can improve wave ...

Many phase-averaged parametric nearshore wave models are based on the energy balance concept and use linear wave theory to calculate wave parameters (e.g., wave energy, wave height, wave setup). For a ...

When giant waves —sometimes 30 meters tall, many times the height of the surrounding crests—suddenly rear up out of the ocean, they pose severe threats to even the largest craft. Unlike tsunamis, ...

Modeling currents together with wind and waves provides more accurate predictions for weather forecasts and climate scientists. As hurricanes grow in power as the climate changes, accurately modeling ...
