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.

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]
In 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
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).

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.

Investigation of symmetry breaking in periodic gravity-capillary waves [PDF]
In this paper, fully nonlinear non-symmetric periodic gravity capillary waves propagating at the surface of an inviscid and incompressible fluid are investigated. This problem was pioneered analytically by 7ufiria (J. Fluid Mech., vol.
