In multi-component systems, several rogue waves can be simultaneously excited using simple initial conditions in the form of a plane wave with a small amplitude single-peak perturbation. This is in drastic contrast with the case of…
We use the spectral kinetic theory of soliton gas to investigate the likelihood of extreme events in integrable turbulence described by the one-dimensional focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (fNLSE). This is done by invoking a…
Rogue waves, and their periodic counterparts, have been shown to exist in a number of integrable models. However, relatively little is known about the existence of these objects in models where an exact formula is unattainable. In this…
In this essay we give an overview on the problem of rogue or freak wave formation in the ocean. The matter of the phenomenon is a sporadic occurrence of unexpectedly high waves on the sea surface. These waves cause serious danger for…
We present a reformulation of unsteady turbulent flow simulations. The initial condition is relaxed and information is allowed to propagate both forward and backward in time. Simulations of chaotic dynamical systems with this reformulation…
Rogue waves, characterized by their abrupt and extreme localization in space and time, have evolved from maritime folklore to subjects of intense study across diverse fields, from hydrodynamics and nonlinear optics to plasmas and condensed…
In addition to deep-water rogue waves which develop from the modulation instability of an optical CW, wave propagation in optical fibers may also produce shallow water rogue waves. These extreme wave events are generated in the…

The statistics of scattering of waves inside single ray-chaotic enclosures have been successfully described by the Random Coupling Model (RCM). We expand the RCM to systems consisting of multiple complex ray-chaotic enclosures with variable…
In turbulent flows the $n$'th order structure functions $S_n(R)$ scale like $R^{\zeta_n}$ when $R$ is in the "inertial range". Extended Self-Similarity refers to the substantial increase in the range of power law behaviour of $S_n(R)$ when…
We systematically investigate rogue wave's spatial-temporal pattern in $N$ $(N\geq2)$-component coupled defocusing nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations. The fundamental rogue wave solutions are given in a unified form for both focusing and…

The evolution of unidirectional nonlinear sea surface waves is calculated numerically by means of solutions of the Euler equations. The wave dynamics corresponds to quasi-equilibrium states characterized by JONSWAP spectra. The…
Turbulence is a challenging feature common to a wide range of complex phenomena. Random fibre lasers are a special class of lasers in which the feedback arises from multiple scattering in a one-dimensional disordered cavity-less medium.…

Ocean rogue waves are large and suddenly appearing surface gravity waves, which may cause severe damage to ships and other maritime structures. Despite years of research, the exact origin of rogue waves is still disputed. Linear…
