Estimates of the Breaking Strength Parameter for Individual Oceanic Whitecaps
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract The purpose of this study is to present the first estimates of the breaking strength parameter, b $b$, for individual oceanic whitecaps. This is achieved by combining the estimates of the dissipation rate per unit breaking crest length for these whitecaps reported in Callaghan et al.

Development of an early stage hydrofoil design tool including unsteady hydrodynamics
Applied Ocean ResearchConceptual design of hydrofoil craft and in particular hydrofoils is challenging since the hydrodynamics is governed by multiple complex physical phenomena such as the effect of the free surface, turbulence and unsteadiness due to waves and/or operations.
