Three-dimensional wave breaking
NatureAbstractAlthough a ubiquitous natural phenomenon, the onset and subsequent process of surface wave breaking are not fully understood. Breaking affects how steep waves become and drives air–sea exchanges1. Most seminal and state-of-the-art research on breaking is underpinned by the assumption of two-dimensionality, although ocean waves are three ...

Effects of Spilling and Plunging Type Breaking Waves Acting on Large Monopile Offshore Wind Turbines
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 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.

Bulletin of the South Ural State University. Series "Mathematical Modelling, Programming and Computer Software", 2023 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.

An empirical method to identify breaking waves [PDF]
RBRHIn this paper we propose a method to identify breaking waves in shallow water. The method takes the local surface elevation time series and creates a new time series computed from the local energy spectrum using the wavelet transform of the input signal ...

The Accelerations of a Wave Measurement Buoy Impacted by Breaking Waves in the Surf Zone
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 A spherical wave measurement buoy capable of detecting breaking waves has been designed and built. The buoy is 16 inches in diameter and houses a 9 degree of freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Semi-empirical dissipation source functions for ocean waves: Part I, definition, calibration and validation [PDF]
, 2009 New parameterizations for the spectra dissipation of wind-generated waves are proposed. The rates of dissipation have no predetermined spectral shapes and are functions of the wave spectrum and wind speed and direction, in a way consistent with ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Waves critically modulate the air‐sea fluxes, and upper‐ocean thermodynamics in a Tropical Cyclone (TC) system. This study improves the modeling of TC intensification by incorporating non‐breaking wave‐induced turbulence and sea spray from breaking waves

Predicting the breaking onset of surface water waves [PDF]
, 2015 Why do ocean waves break? Understanding this important and obvious property of the ocean surface has been elusive for decades. This paper investigates causes which lead deep-water two-dimensional initially monochromatic waves to break.
