How do I predict rogue waves using simple probability models ?

AI Thread Summary
Predicting rogue waves is inherently challenging due to their unpredictable nature, which is a defining characteristic. However, analyzing past rogue wave events using simple probability models is feasible. Participants suggest starting with Google searches for beginner-friendly materials on rogue waves and their causes. Recent breakthroughs in modeling rogue waves that incorporate both linear and non-linear regimes are highlighted as valuable resources. Engaging with these materials can enhance understanding and provide insights for the physics project.

Sorry, no can do. Rogue waves are, well, unpredictable. That's how they earned their name... :smile:

That's much more practical. What reading have you been doing about rogue waves in the past?

None apart the one I already published (which is in French). Could you propose any similar beginner-friendly material ?

I would start with some Google searches and look for the best scientific links in those...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
