Roque Wave library

tash S — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 05:13:11 GMT

Hi All,

I heard that HP provides a library for Roque Wave objects as part of the OS. If we developed the shared library code using Roque Wave template (C++) , we will have to care about this. So where is the best documents we will be able to refer to the library regarding Roque Wave objects?

Hi,
please see:

docs site is having some problems right now.

You can find a lot more with the google criteria :

I apologize for intercepting your thread with some unqualified comment.
Because of my Naval Arcitecture background (long ago) the term "Rogue Wave" made me curious.
Remembering having spent some time during studies with (gravity) wave theory (some nasty differential equations, but also modelling of all kinds of wave spectra in wave and towing tanks for seakeeping trials of vessels and off shore structures) I can only relate the term Rogue Wave to what is also termed "Freak" or "Monster" Wave.
A couple of years ago for instance, the German cruise vessel BREMEN on her voyage from Antarctica was hit by such a monster that resulted in an almost loss of vessel and lives aboard.
The wave smashed a window pane of the wheel house and made all electric ship steering and navigational equipment useless.
The seafarers reported the horrifying approach of a dark water wall of up to 40 meters hight between trough and crest.
So far such reports have been taken for seamans' cock-and-bull stories until recent wave height measuring wheater satellites proved the existence of such Rogue Waves
(especially in the area between South Atlantic and Antarctica that the Bremen was passing)

Thus, I wonder if a programming library called RogueWave is used by hydro dynamicists to aid in their CFD modelling of waves?

Hi Peter,

docs.hp.com site is very slow and I can not access from here.

Can you tell me alternative one instead of docs.hp.com

It's working now but you can't see any RW documentation. All you can do is look at your own system using: aCC +help

You can see what's there but you can't look at the pages:
http://docs.hp.com/en/8759/index.htm

HP ships old versions of RW's C++ Standard Lib and tools.h++.

Hi,
site is back on-line !!

HP thread on the down-time:

You should now be able to search the docs site for the info you wanted.
