چکیده

− This paper deals first with the mathematical formulation of a non-linear second-order stochastic model of free irrotational ocean surface wave on deep water. Then, the case of wave motion of zero bandwidth is treated to illustrate the model. On the basis of the usual hydrodynamic equations, the formulation is made by successive applications of the harmonic decomposition and the so-called Wiener-Hermite functional series expansion of random functions. This procedure yields the kernels equations. These kernels allow to obtain the random surface wave fields from the Wiener set of elementary random processes. For the particular case cited above, as expected, the second-order non-linearity results in the generation of a second harmonic component of the fundamental component. The corresponding realisations of the random variations of the water surface deflection level exhibit close similarity with data from laboratory experiments. The potentiality of the approach for modelling a wide class of random oceanic processes is stressed. © 2001 Ifremer/CNRS/IRD/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS Résumé − Modèle non linéaire du second ordre d’ondes de surfaces océaniques. Cet article concerne en premier lieu la formulation mathématique d’un modèle non linéaire, du second ordre, d’ondes de surface océaniques aléatoires, sur profondeur infinie. Ensuite, le cas d’un champ d’ondes de largeur de bande nulle est traité pour illustrer la potentialité du modèle. Sur la base des équations usuelles de l’hydrodynamique, la formulation est effectuée en faisant appel successivement à la décomposition harmonique puis aux développement fonctionnel en série dit de « Wiener-Hermite » des fonctions aléatoires. Cette procédure conduit aux équations aux noyaux. Ceux-ci caractérisent la transformation qui permet d’obtenir les champs d’ondes de surface à partir de l’ensemble des processus aléatoires élémentaires de Wiener-Hermite. Pour le cas particulier cité précédemment, on constate que la non linéarité conduit à la génération d’une composante harmonique du deuxième ordre de l’onde fondamentale. Les échantillons de variations du niveau de la surface libre, construits d’après le modèle, montrent des similitudes frappantes avec les échantillons issus d’expériences en laboratoire. L’intérêt de la méthode pour modéliser une large classe de phénomènes océaniques aléatoires est mis en relief. © 2001 Ifremer/CNRS/IRD/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS Fourier-Stiltjes decomposition / kernels equations / oceanic surface waves / random functions / Wiener-Hermite functional series représentation de Fourier-Stieltjes / équations aux noyaux / ondes de surface océaniques / fonctions aléatoires / série fonctionnelle de Wiener-Hermite

Non-linear stochastic inversion of regional Bouguer anomalies by means of Particle Swarm Optimization: Application to the Zagros Mountains

Estimating the lateral depth variations of the Earth’s crust from gravity data is a non-linear ill-posed problem. The ill-posedness of the problem is due to the presence of noise in the data, and also the non-uniqueness of the problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a stochastic population-based optimizer, originally inspired by the social behavior of fish schools and bird flocks. PSO is ...

A family of narrow-band non-linear stochastic processes for the mechanics of sea waves

A bi-parametric family of non-linear stochastic processes is introduced, to investigate the properties of second-order random processes with a narrow-band spectrum in the mechanics of the sea waves. In particular, the expressions of the probability density function and of the probabilities of exceedance of the absolute maximum and absolute minimum are obtained for this stochastic family. The an...

Numerical solution of second-order stochastic differential equations with Gaussian random parameters

In this paper, we present the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (or SDEs), from each order especially second-order with time-varying and Gaussian random coefficients. We indicate a complete analysis for second-order equations in special case of scalar linear second-order equations (damped harmonic oscillators with additive or multiplicative noises). Making stochastic differe...

Energy Spectra of the Ocean Surface: an Eigenmode Approach

A set of Hermitian equations is constructed using a mode description of the dynamic equations of the ocean surface. These equations are sufficiently flexible to include the coupling of the ocean surface to the wind, viscous damping and the effects of surface tension as well as the non-linear interactions between surface waves. The system of equations is exact and from them a system of approxima...
