Abstract.

Theoretically possible rogue edge wave are studied over cylindrical bottom in the framework of nonlinear shallow water equations in a weakly nonlinear limit. The nonlinear mechanisms (nonlinear dispersion enhancement, modulation instability and multimodal interactions) of possible anomalous edge wave appearance are analyzed.
