Journal ArticleDOI
Violent breaking wave impacts. Part 1: Results from large-scale regular wave tests on vertical and sloping walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of entrained and entrapped air on wave impacts are investigated and the characteristics of the impacts depend on the breaker conditions and four different types of impact are identified and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of air and scale on wave impact pressures
TL;DR: In this article, a relationship between the level of aeration and the violence of the impact is derived, which enables the reduction in impact pressure caused by aeration to be estimated and provides a better means of predicting impact pressures in laboratory seawater wave tests from freshwater tests than either the Froude or Cauchy laws.
Journal ArticleDOI
Violent breaking wave impacts. Part 2: Modelling the effect of air
TL;DR: In this paper, an exact Riemann solver is developed to permit a finite-volume solution to the flow model with smallest possible local error. And the subsequent impact is modelled with a novel compressible-flow model for a homogeneous mixture of incompressible liquid and ideal gas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakpoint generated surf beat induced by bichromatic wave groups
TL;DR: In this article, Symonds et al. presented new experimental data on 2D surf beat generation by a time-varying breakpoint induced by bichromatic wave groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Violent breaking wave impacts. Part 3. Effects of scale and aeration
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of scale and aeration on violent breaking wave impacts with trapped and entrained air are investigated both analytically and numerically, and a modified scaling curve that combines Froude scaling and Bagnold-Mitsuyasu scaling law is suggested.
