In 2011, Deconinck and Oliveras simulated different disturbances with higher and higher frequencies and watched what happened to the Stokes waves. As they expected, for disturbances above a certain frequency, the waves persevered.But as the pair continued to dial up the frequency, they suddenly began to see destruction again.

The final week of October brought a quiet but steady Rhine barge freight market. Rates across all destinations held largely unchanged, supported by ample water levels, high barge utilization, and few new deals. Operators focused mainly on closing October programs, while charterers completed end-of-month obligations. Despite stable logistics, lingering ARA terminal delays continued to cause re-nominations and scheduling inefficiencies. 1. Freight Rates: Flat and Unmoved Throughout the Week 27 October: Activity was slow, with only three new deals registered. Rates slipped slightly (–€0.50 to –€0.65 across major Upper Rhine routes), as water levels rose and operators completed prior commitments. 28…

Freight rates rose modestly (by €0.01–0.02/ton) on select routes…
