Using the generalised nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, we investigate how the effect of third-order dispersion, self-steepening, and Raman-induced-self-frequency shift have an impact on the higher-order rogue waves. We observe that…
The propagation of elastic waves in soft materials plays a crucial role in the spatio-temporal transmission of mechanical signals, e.g. in biological mechanotransduction or in the failure of marginal solids. At high Reynolds numbers $Re \gg…
The paper considers the application of two numerical models to simulate the evolution of steep breaking waves. The first one is a Lagrangian wave model based on equations of motion of an inviscid fluid in Lagrangian coordinates. A method…

Within the framework of the average approach and direct 3D PIC (particle-in-cell) simulations we demonstrate that the gyrotrons operating in the regime of developed turbulence can sporadically emit "giant" spikes with intensities a factor…
Caustics are natural phenomena in which nature concentrates the energy of waves. Although, they are known mostly in optics, caustics are intrinsic to all wave phenomena. For example, studies show that fluctuations in the profile of an ocean…
In this work we present an analytical and numerical study of rogue and solitary waves in a coupled one-dimensional nonlinear lattice that involves both axial and rotational degrees of freedom. Using a multiple-scale analysis we derive a…

General rogue waves in the focusing and defocusing Ablowitz-Ladik equations are derived by the bilinear method. In the focusing case, it is shown that rogue waves are always bounded. In addition, fundamental rogue waves reach peak…
Spatially-bounded rogue waves, i.e., rogue waves that arise in a limited region of a multi-dimensional space, are interesting and important from both theoretical and applied points of view. In this paper, we determine spatially-bounded…
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.…
We investigate elastic-wave propagation in a spatially-dispersive multilayered, totally passive metamaterial system. At oblique incidence a longitudinal (acoustic) wave can convert to transverse in the solid material comprising the layers,…
Mechanical metamaterials can be designed to exhibit unique mechanical properties, including tunable auxetic behavior as well as multi-stability, which arise from the geometry and configuration of the constituent building blocks.…
In the present work, we explore the possibility of developing rogue waves as exact solutions of some nonlinear dispersive equations, such as the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, but also, in a similar vein, the Hirota, Davey-Stewartson,…
Reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves by artificial periodic composites (metamaterials) can be accurately modeled by an effective medium theory only if the boundary of the medium is explicitly taken into account and the two…
Rogue waves are abnormally large waves which appear unexpectedly and have attracted considerable attention, particularly in recent years. The one space, one time (1+1) nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is often used to model rogue waves; it…

Weak phase noise present on an optical field can be amplified by a self-focusing nonlinearity and form intense "rogue wave" features. Here, we study the effect of the coherence length (or grain size) of this phase noise on the likelihood of…
Mechanical metamaterials composed of bistable elements have recently emerged as promising platforms for mechanical memory. Traditional approaches to writing information in these systems typically rely on localized actuation or predefined…
