  The rogue wave solutions (rational multi-breathers) of the nonlinear
Schrodinger equation (NLS) are tested in numerical simulations of weakly
nonlinear and fully nonlinear hydrodynamic equations. Only the lowest order
solutions from 1 to 5 are considered. A higher accuracy of wave propagation in
space is reached using the modified NLS equation (MNLS) also known as the
Dysthe equation. This numerical modelling allowed us to directly compare
simulations with recent results of laboratory measurements in
\cite{Chabchoub2012c}. In order to achieve even higher physical accuracy, we
employed fully nonlinear simulations of potential Euler equations. These
simulations provided us with basic characteristics of long time evolution of
rational solutions of the NLS equation in the case of near breaking conditions.
The analytic NLS solutions are found to describe the actual wave dynamics of
steep waves reasonably well.
