Effects of Spilling and Plunging Type Breaking Waves Acting on Large Monopile Offshore Wind Turbines
In the present paper, the computational fluid dynamics method is used to investigate the effects of breaking wave loads on a 10-MW large-scale monopile offshore wind turbine under typical sea conditions in the eastern seas of China.

Breaking Wave Height Estimation from Timex Images: Two Methods for Coastal Video Monitoring Systems
The breaking wave height is a crucial parameter for coastal studies but direct measurements constitute a difficult task due to logistical and technical constraints.

Summary: We study a mathematical model of coastal waves in the shallow water approximation. The model contains two empirical parameters. The first one controls turbulent dissipation. The second one is responsible for the turbulent viscosity and is determined by the turbulent Reynolds number. We study travelling waves solutions to this model.

Wave Spectrum of Breaking Waves
By wave breaking, an incident monocromatic wave is transformed to a wave composed of its harmonic frequency waves inside a surf zone. Based on a dimensional consideration, the "-1 power law ", the "-2 power law ", the "-2/3 power law " and the "-1/2 power law " on the wave height spectrum ,H(f), are derived as sorts of equilibrium spectra.

Numerical Investigation of Breaking Focused Waves and Forces on Coastal Deck Structure with Girders
In the present study, breaking focused wave groups were simulated using open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics model REEF3D in order to investigate the breaking wave impact on scaled (1:10) two-dimensional coastal deck structure with girder. The effect

Experimental study of eddy viscosity for breaking waves on sloping bottom and comparisons with empirical and numerical predictions; pp. 299–312 [PDF]
Focus is on the turbulence for a plunging breaker. Laser Doppler anemometer point measurements were used to determine the velocity matrix of a breaking wave on a sloping bottom.

The sight and sound of breaking waves and surf is so familiar and enjoyable that we tend to forget how little we really understand about them. Why is it, that compared to other branches of wave studies our knowledge of breaking waves is so empirical and inexact?
