Breaking the waves

Science, 2015
When Hurricane Irene hit North Carolina's coast in 2011, waves 2 meters high began pounding the shore. Two properties on Pine Knoll Shores, a community on one of the state's many barrier islands, provided a study in contrasts. One homeowner had installed a concrete bulkhead to protect his yard from the sea.

Breaking waves

2020
Wave breaking on sandy beaches occurs as waves encounter decreasing depth and is the primary mechanism for wave energy dissipation. The initial breaking process occurs when the depth becomes too shallow for a stable waveform to exist and can also be influenced by the beach slope.

Transverse-Wake Wave Breaking

Physical Review Letters, 1997
A finite-width laser pulse of high intensity propagating in an underdense plasma excites a transversely inhomogeneous, finite amplitude wakefield. This wake wave undergoes a transverse wave breaking due to the increase of the wake front curvature, followed by the self-intersection of electron trajectories.

A domain decomposition approach to compute wave breaking (wave‐breaking flows)

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 2003
AbstractA heterogeneous domain decomposition approach is followed to simulate the unsteady wavy flow generated by a body moving beneath a free surface. Attention being focused on complex free surface configurations, including wave‐breaking phenomena, a two‐fluid viscous flow model is used in the free surface region to capture the air–water interface ...

Wave Breaking in Wave Groups

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2001
Experiments were conducted with periodic wave groups incident on a plane beach with a slope of 1:35. The wave groups were composed of a series of cnoidal waves with varying wave heights. Emphasis was on obtaining a number of measurements inside the surf zone.

Breaking the Waves

2023
This volume shows how literature and art reveal unsuspected properties of water. The myths and legends that water and the sea have generated (the Flood, the voyages of Ulysses and Aeneas, the mermaids, the ocean as an old man, Proteus or Nereus, Ophelia, the white whale) resound like a reservoir of forms and themes that today’s verbal and visual arts ...
