An Experimental Study on Measuring Breaking-Wave Bubbles with LiDAR Remote Sensing
Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of profiling and characterizing subsurface bubble plumes following a breaking wave event from an above-water Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system.

The sight and sound of breaking waves and surf is so familiar and enjoyable that we tend to forget how little we really understand about them. Why is it, that compared to other branches of wave studies our knowledge of breaking waves is so empirical and inexact?

Influence of the nonlinearity on statistical characteristics of long wave runup [PDF]
Runup of long irregular waves on a plane beach is studied experimentally in the water flume at the University of Warwick. Statistics of wave runup (displacement and velocity of the moving shoreline and their extreme values) is analyzed for the incident ...

Breaking wave solutions of a short wave model
In this paper, the breaking wave solutions of a short wave model is investigated by employing the bifurcation method of dynamical systems. All possible explicit breaking kink wave solutions and compacton solutions are obtained. Dynamical analysis reveals

Statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in the space and time domains [PDF]
We present experimental results on simultaneous space–time measurements for the gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We compare these results with predictions of the weak turbulence theory (WTT) based on random waves, as well as with ...
