We investigate the interaction of strongly non linear internal solitary waves (ISWs) with boundaries having different slopes by means of high-resolution 3D large Eddy Simulations (LES). Releasing a volume of fr
Breaking waves are a natural phenomenon that can affect infrastructure located near the coast and cause soil erosion problems as well. For this reason, it has been investigated through experiments and numerical simulations for decades. With the advancement of new numerical approaches such as the movin...
The inclusion of wind alters the air flow structure above water waves, increases the generation of vorticity, and affects the wave shoaling, breaking, over- turning, and splash-up processes. Wind increases the water particle velocities and causes water waves to break earlier and seaward, which ...
shoaling waves in the sernnd-order approximation by expanding the first two terms of Hermitian polynomial is depicted by the parameter Hs/d, and such characteristics as the power spectrum, the bispectrum and the distribution function of sea surface elevation es well have been derived in this ...
Breaking of shoaling internal solitary waves (ISWs) is important for mixing and mass transport processes in oceans and lakes. For ISWs in a two-layer stratified fluid, previous studies identified four breaker types: surging, plunging, collapsing, and fission. The latest classification of these ...
The shoaling and breaking of an internal solitary wave of depression on a uniform slope were studied experimentally. The waves were generated with as large an amplitude as possible while minimizing mixing at the generation site, thus maximizing the amount of energy propagating onto the slope in ...
OCEAN wavesOCEAN bottomMARINE sedimentsOCEANOGRAPHYWe present a semi-analytical model for predicting the breaking location of internal solitary waves (ISWs) over a sloping seabed. Our conceptual model is based on laboratory experiments, performed in a wave tank, that reproduce the ISW ...
INTERNAL wavesThe breaking and energy distribution of mode-1 depression internal solitary wave interactions with Gaussian ridges are examined through laboratory experiments. A series of processes, such as shoaling, breaking, transmission and reflection, are captured completely by measuring ...
