معرفی
Karsten Trulsen is a Professor in Mechanics at the University of Oslo, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. His work focuses on wave phenomena, particularly surface waves on water, ocean waves, and extreme wave events.
- Teaches courses: MEK1100 (Introduction to Mechanics), MEK4320 (Wave Dynamics), MEK4350 (Advanced Fluid Mechanics)
- Labs: Kistefos Laboratory, Lysakerelva
His research spans nonlinear wave dynamics, stochastic analysis, and deterministic wave forecasting, combining applied mathematics, laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and field observations. Key themes include modulational instability, rogue wave generation, and wave-structure interactions.
Recent publications analyze extreme wave statistics over complex bathymetry, rogue wave probability in crossing sea states, and directional wave spectra using data-adaptive methods. He has contributed to field studies like the ExWaMar project and explored three-dimensional wave dynamics in long tanks.
