Abstract The relative contributions of free waves and bound waves to the formation of an extreme wave event remains a topic of interest in offshore engineering. A variety of methods have been proposed for identifying and removing the bound wave components. The method of “phase separation” or “phase manipulation” repeats simulations/experiments of a wave field with an offset in the initial phase of the wave components and relies upon summation of the resulting wave fields to isolate the bound harmonics, following from a Stokes expansion in steepness; the method has proven effective in isolating bound harmonics but requires that all cases be repeated. Alternatively, the bound harmonics can be removed using a three-dimensional fast Fourier transform (3D-FFT) of the wave field. However, the Fourier transform requires periodicity in the signal and assumes homogeneity in space and stationarity in time, producing spurious modes otherwise. We compare the phase separation and 3D-FFT approaches for a steep, focusing wave group in deep water using the numerical simulation tool, OceanWave3D, and discuss the effectiveness of both methods.

Several methods use the Fourier transform from momentum space to twistor space to analyze scattering amplitudes in Yang–Mills theory. However, the transform has not been defined as a concrete complex integral when the twistor space is a three-dimensional complex projective space. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to define it as well as its inverse in terms of a concrete complex integral. In addition, our study is the first to show that the Fourier transform is an isomorphism from the zeroth Čech cohomology group to the first one. Moreover, the well-known twistor operator representations in twistor theory literature are shown to be valid for the Fourier transform and its inverse transform. Finally, we identify functions over which the application of the operators is closed.

Electron Density Map

When everything has been done to make the phases as good as possible, the time has come to examine the image of the structure in the form of an electron-density map. The electron-density map is the Fourier transform of the structure factors (with their phases). If the resolution and phases are good enough, the electron-density map may be interpreted in terms of atomic positions. In practice, it may be necessary to alternate between study of the electron-density map and the procedures mentioned in Chapter 10, which may allow improvements to be made to it. Electron-density maps contain a great deal of information, which is not easy to grasp. Considerable technical effort has gone into methods of presenting the electron density to the observer in the clearest possible way. The Fourier transform is calculated as a set of electron-density values at every point of a three-dimensional grid labelled with fractional coordinates x, y, z. These coordinates each go from 0 to 1 in order to cover the whole unit cell. To present the electron density as a smoothly varying function, values have to be calculated at intervals that are much smaller than the nominal resolution of the map. Say, for example, there is a protein unit cell 50 Å on a side, at a routine resolution of 2Å. This means that some of the waves included in the calculation of the electron density go through a complete wave cycle in 2 Å. As a rule of thumb, to represent this properly, the spacing of the points on the grid for calculation must be less than one-third of the resolution. In our example, this spacing might be 0.6 Å. To cover the whole of the 50 Å unit cell, about 80 values of x are needed; and the same number of values of y and z. The electron density therefore needs to be calculated on an array of 80×80×80 points, which is over half a million values. Although our world is three-dimensional, our retinas are two-dimensional, and we are good at looking at pictures and diagrams in two dimensions.

The Fourier Transform

In Chapter 4 many two-dimensional examples were shown, in which a diffraction pattern represents the Fourier transform of the scattering object. When a diffracting object is three-dimensional, a new effect arises. In diffraction by a repetitive object, rays are scattered in many directions. Each unit of the lattice scatters, but a diffracted beam arises only if the scattered rays from each unit are all in phase. Otherwise the scattering from one unit is cancelled out by another. In two dimensions, there is always a direction where the scattered rays are in phase for any order of diffraction (just as shown for a one-dimensional scatterer in Fig. 4.1). In three dimensions, it is only possible for all the points of a lattice to scatter in phase if the crystal is correctly oriented in the incident beam. The amplitudes and phases of all the scattered beams from a three-dimensional crystal still provide the Fourier transform of the three-dimensional structure. But when a crystal is at a particular angular orientation to the X-ray beam, the scattering of a monochromatic beam provides only a tiny sample of the total Fourier transform of its structure. In the next section, we are going to find what is needed to allow a diffracted beam to be generated. We shall follow a treatment invented by Lawrence Bragg in 1913. Max von Laue, who discovered X-ray diffraction in 1912, used a different scheme of analysis; and Paul Ewald introduced a new way of looking at it in 1921. These three methods are referred to as the Laue equations, Bragg’s law and the Ewald construction, and they give identical results. All three are described in many crystallographic text books. Bragg’s method is straightforward, understandable, and suffices for present needs. I had heard J.J. Thomson lecture about…X-rays as very short pulses of radiation. I worked out that such pulses…should be reflected at any angle of incidence by the sheets of atoms in the crystal as if these sheets were mirrors.…It remained to explain why certain of the atomic mirrors in the zinc blende [ZnS] crystal reflected more powerfully than others.

The use of lasers and thermal transfers on the skin is fundamental in medical and clinical treatments. In this paper, we constructed and applied bioheat transfer equations in the context of a two-temperature heat conduction model in order to discuss the three-dimensional variation in the temperature of laser-irradiated biological tissue. The amount of thermal damage in the tissue was calculated using the Arrhenius integral. Mathematical difficulties were encountered in applying the equations. As a result, the Laplace and Fourier transform technique was employed, and solutions for the conductive temperature and dynamical temperature were obtained in the Fourier transform domain.

This paper deals with the multidimensional consolidation of unsaturated soils when both the air phase and water phase are continuous. Following the approach proposed by D.G. Fredlund and his coworkers, the differential equations governing the coupled and uncoupled consolidation are first derived and then solved numerically. The solution is achieved using a procedure that depends on the transformation of the field equations by using the Fourier transform. This transformation has the effect of reducing a two- or three-dimensional problem to a problem involving only a single spatial dimension. The transformed equations are solved using a finite element approximation that makes use of simple one-dimensional elements. Once the solution in the transformed domain is obtained, the actual solution is achieved by inversion of the Fourier transform. The time integration process is formulated in a stepwise form. Results are presented to point out some aspects of the consolidation in unsaturated soils. Moreover, it is shown that the results obtained using the simple uncoupled theory are of sufficient accuracy for practical purposes.Key words: coupled consolidation, uncoupled consolidation, unsaturated soils, Fourier transform.

An exact numerical scheme for a long-term simulation of three-dimensional potential fully-nonlinear periodic gravity waves is suggested. The scheme is based on a surface-following non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system and does not use the technique based on expansion of the velocity potential. The Poisson equation for the velocity potential is solved iteratively. The Fourier transform method, the second-order accuracy approximation of the vertical derivatives on a stretched vertical grid and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta time stepping are used. The scheme is validated by simulation of steep Stokes waves. The model requires considerable computer resources, but the one-processor version of the model for PC allows us to simulate an evolution of a wave field with thousands degrees of freedom for hundreds of wave periods. The scheme is designed for investigation of the nonlinear two-dimensional surface waves, for generation of extreme waves as well as for the direct calculations of a nonlinear interaction rate. After implementation of the wave breaking parameterization and wind input, the model can be used for the direct simulation of a two-dimensional wave field evolution under the action of wind, nonlinear wave-wave interactions and dissipation. The model can be used for verification of different types of simplified models.

Odegard and Berg (1965) have shown that the interpretational process can be simplified for several idealized bodies by utilizing the Fourier transform of the resultant theoretical gravity anomalies. Additional studies relating similar conclusions for other idealized bodies have been reported by Gladkii (1963), Roy (1967), Sharma et al (1970), Davis (1971), Eby (1972), and Saha (1975), and a summary of the spatial and frequency domain equations is given in Regan and Hinze (1976, Table 1); however, the transforms of the three‐dimensional prism and vertical line elements, often utilized in interpretation, have not been previously examined in this manner. Although Bhattacharyya and Chen (1977) have developed and utilized the transform of the 3-D prism in their method for determining the distribution of magnetization in a localized region, it is still of value to present the interpretive advantages of the transform equation itself.

Extreme Wave Event

Previous work by Baldock, Swan and Taylor [1], Johannessen and Swan [2,3], and Bateman, Swan and Taylor [4,5] has demonstrated that in the vicinity of an extreme wave event there are significant and rapid changes in the local wave spectrum. The present paper combines two recent advances. The first is a new fully nonlinear directional wave model, the application of which is particularly suited to the description of extreme waves arising in realistic sea states. The second involves recent advances in time-frequency analysis techniques. Unlike traditional spectral analysis, based upon the Fourier transform, these allow local and rapid changes in a wave spectrum to be clearly identified. By combining these methods the proposed paper will first highlight the occurrence of these changes in realistic seas and will subsequently demonstrate their significance both in terms of estimating crest height elevations and in predicting the associated water particle kinematics.

Homogeneous Media

Transformation of gravity or magnetic anomaly maps into isodepth maps of a surface separating two homogeneous media may be accomplished by (1) systematically estimating an average depth and density or magnetization contrast for the surface and (2) using an iterative method to adjust local depths compared to the average depth of the surface. Average depth, density or magnetization contrast, and iterative adjustment of local depths are determined using the Fourier transform of the field to be interpreted and that of the field generated by an equivalent surface. This leads us to propose a method of estimating the average depth of the sources and a distribution function for the depths and then a complete and very economical algorithm for the calculation of the corresponding equivalent surface.
