Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

When thinking of rogue waves breaking out in the middle of the ocean, for surfers at least, one liquid monstrosity comes to mind – Cortes Bank, the mythical big wave gauntlet breaking some 100 miles ...

A size comparison of the "Draupner Wave" to 3 school buses stacked horizontally on top of one another. On New Year’s Day 1995, a monstrous 80-foot wave in the North Sea slammed into the Draupner oil ...

The top layer represents the location of the sound source and the path of sound propagation (A). The bottom layers represent convergence zones with different sound propagation paths (B-F). Sound waves ...

Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...
