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 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 ...

Instability and Breaking of a Solitary Wave

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1987
The result of a linear stability calculation of solitary waves which propagate steadily along the free surface of a liquid layer of constant depth is examined numerically by employing a time-stepping scheme based on a boundary-integral method. The initial’ growth rate that is found for sufficiently small perturbations agrees well with the growth rate ...

Breaking the wave of peri‐implantitis

Periodontology 2000, 2020
AbstractPeri‐implant diseases are prevalent with a weighted mean prevalence rate of 43% across Europe and 22% across South and North America. Although the main etiologic agent is bacterial biofilm, a myriad of factors influence the initiation and progression of the disease.

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.

Breaking the Waves

2019
Abstract Andy Clark is the foremost architect of the extended cognition hypothesis (ExC), according to which the machinery of mind extends beyond the skull and skin. Advocates of ExC divide into several camps, the most prominent being the first-wave (parity-based) theorists and the second-wave (complementarity-based) theorists. These two

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 Wave

2019
This chapter asks the question: Can women filmmakers, cinematic spectators, and televisual viewers speak from their doubly––sociopolitically and gendered––extraterritorialised position? It -historicises the theoretical discourse and film practice of the first phase (1968–78) of the Hong Kong New Wave from the perspectives of women filmmakers and ...
