dc.descriptionFreak waves, or rogue waves, are one of the fascinating manifestations of the strength of nature. These devastating walls of water appear from nowhere, are short-lived and extremely rare. Despite the large amount of research activities on this subject, neither the minimum ingredients required for their generation nor the mechanisms explaining their formation have been given. Today, it is possible to reproduce such kind of waves in optical fibre systems. In this context, we demonstrate theoretically and numerically that convective instability is the basic ingredient for the formation of rogue waves. This explains why rogues waves are extremely sensitive to noisy environments.
