Abstract

Oceanic rogue waves can exceed 30 m in height, and thus pose a threat even to large ships and offshore stations. Being able to model such waves faithfully would be very helpful in unraveling their dynamics. In this context (and others as well), ``breathers''---deterministic, localized, coherent pulsating structures---could be important to our understanding. Using fully nonlinear hydrodynamic simulations, this study aims to shed light on the applicability of breathers in modeling rogue waves under realistic sea conditions. The results provide a quantitative criterion for validating the relevance of breather dynamics for tackling diverse problems in oceanic engineering.
